Summary
After a series of traumatic events (including the end of a 15-year marriage and multiple sexual assaults), a woman discovers she must face the reality of her life, or end it.
On a scrap of paper, she writes “reasons to live.” It stays blank for days. Then, she remembers her old dream: move to Europe. By pet-sitting in exchange for lodging, she makes this dream a reality, finding solace in exploring new landscapes and spending time with animals.
Against a backdrop of fur-filled adventures and cultural revelations, she battles the demons of C-PTSD and grief as she attempts to rebuild her identity and her life.
One Reason to Live embodies a visceral experience of living with psychiatric injury combined with the power of radical acceptance, sweetened by the healing quality of animal companionship and the joy of embracing self-love.
