Sometimes on our life's journey, it seems as if we've lost our way. In this contemporary novel, Joanna Quinn's journey mirrors the struggles nearly all of us face at some point in the progress of our own lives. This is how her story begins:
Things just wouldn't add up. She'd been at it a solid hour. Joanna leaned on her elbows over the yellow legal pad and frowned at the last figure she had circled, nearly lost among the uneven columns of numbers, cross outs, cryptic notations and pointing arrows. If she could just get to next week's paycheck
Things just wouldn't add up. She'd been at it a solid hour. Joanna leaned on her elbows over the yellow legal pad and frowned at the last figure she had circled, nearly lost among the uneven columns of numbers, cross outs, cryptic notations and pointing arrows. If she could just get to next week's paycheck
Alone on that bleak March night, Joanna Quinn finds her patched-together life coming undone. Deserted by her husband and isolated from her family, she and her young daughter, Gwen, face an uncertain future financially and emotionally.
How could everything have gotten so off track? Where could she turn for answers?
With her unscrupulous landlord hinting at sexual favors in lieu of rent, there is no time left to hope solutions will find them. Accepting temporary refuge with her best friend, Kim, she undertakes the hard work of re-balancing her life.
It is in part a matter of her coming to trust others who wish to help. But it's not until she rediscovers faith in herself that she finds the place to begin again.
