Category: Fiction

Hetti Crane has been a good woman all her life; good wife, a good mother, a good homemaker. It has always been enough...until now. At age fifty-eight she finds herself a widow without any income or savings. Not able to pay the rent, she loses her home too. Hetti falls into a deep depression. She has only one wish; to die. But life demands to be lived. This is the story of her struggle to overcome hopelessness, homelessness, and, finally, confinement to a mental ward.
