Opis

Dysthymia, a sometimes debilitating depressive mood disorder is explored in this fictional tale of 43 year-old Jeanna Rose Audrey Thornton, a successful lawyer who decides to commit suicide after a series of personal setbacks plunges her into despair. A series of unlikely events prevent the suicide attempt from succeeding, causing Jeanna's estranged family to come to terms with uncomfortable revelations that ultimately lead to healing and faith. With light humor and compassion, this tale touches upon the etiology and course of dysthymia, while giving hope to supportive loved ones also affected by consequences of the disorder. By infusing the cultural backdrop of Jeanna's church upbringing in Georgia with her approach to sickness, we learn the pivotal role family, church and communities play in supporting loved ones fighting this illness.
