An entire book about a character recovering sounds like something you'd be amazing at! It's been quite some time since I read it, but memory has be believe that PARADISE was somewhat close to this mark. There was tension here and there, but really it was about traumatized characters finding new hope and new life in the least likely of places. And I frankly loved that book.

Oh, and congrats to Karen! Me and my wife were laid off within a couple weeks of each other a few years back, and it took 6 months to find new jobs for the both of us (which we bizarrely found within 2 weeks of each other, too!) So I empathize with that experience. It's terrible, but the "new life" found at the end feels bloody amazing. Sad that jobs have to have this affect on us, but such is the life we live.
