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.
