Meaning
This reads as a writer describing the responsibility of tone, not just temperament. It can be taken to mean that even honest stories can leave room for steadiness and comfort, so readers are not left stranded in darkness. It lands when an author wants to say that hope is part of the craft, not an afterthought.
