Synopsis

This book traces Abigail's exodus out of her marriage in Florida, to resettlement in the dangerous downtown of a city an hour from her mother's home. With the help of her aging mother and father, whom she frequently despises, she escapes to an apparently more civilized city a little closer to home; finally, she settles into an apartment in a pleasant small town 10 minutes away from her mother and father. Her son stays with her parents. The journal collects posts from her 5 years of blogging her way through her travels. The style of the blogging, which forms a framework for the whole book, is a loose poetry that easily follows Abby's still distorted thoughts. The book includes some of Abby's most recent writing, like "California, a Pro-Life Novel," as well as short stories and poems from her past. These elements work together to tell a tale of love, betrayal, and redemption. In the end, optimism prevails through the darkness and hope, through Christian faith, triumphs over a lifetime of despair.
