One Good Thing - 9781475004335

While on a hunting trip Kerry Fitzgerald's father is seriously injured and she thinks life can't get any worse -- but she is wrong. Over the course of one year she gets kicked out of college, abandons her infant son with her parents, moves to California to sell drugs, gets busted and is sentenced to fifteen years in prison. To make things worse her parents don't respond to her letters, her boyfriend, and father of their son, disappears without a trace and she starts thinking she is losing her grip on reality. When she meets fellow prisoner Carol Endicott, a sixties radical, the two women become friends. But despite the comfort Kerry finds in their growing friendship, her depression seems to have no bottom. In an effort to help, Carol shares a secret with her, a truth that will change her life. "You are not who you think you are. You are not Kerry Fitzgerald." And so begins Kerry's journey of spiritual awakening, a process not of self-improvement, but of self-annihilation. A journey from suffering and separation to freedom and love, a pilgrimage inward that will call into question every belief she has ever held dear and challenge her to ask the most important question of her life, "Who am I?"
