The Imaginary Life of Abigail Jones
Everyone envisions great things for Abigail Jones-her teachers, classmates, and family-even Abigail. However, one wrong decision while in college leads to an elaborate coverup scheme which has a domino effect on the rest of her life. Depressed, she drops out a semester before finishing her degree to enter into a marriage of convenience, which she thinks is the solution to her problems. She does eventually find love, and for a while, everything is rosy, but by midlife, regrets and guilt bubble back up to the surface. Anxiety takes a toll. Will a memoir writing class, recommended by a therapist, help her sort out her feelings and cope with her past?
