Rediscovering your life
Claire Simmons is in pain. She shows it in the scars that line her body and in the way she carries herself, wincing with each step.

She’s no good at hiding her emotional pain either. Blunt to the point of insult, Claire’s anger seethes out of her at every opportunity. She’s driven away her husband, her friends, and been kicked out of her chronic pain support group. The only one left in Claire’s otherwise solitary existence is her caretaker, Silvana, who condones her boss’ need for alcohol and pills.
The suicide of Nina, a fellow chronic pain group member, prompts another fixation. On her pursuit, Claire explores the boundaries between life and death, abandonment and heartbreak, danger and salvation. As she inserts herself into the lives of Nina’s husband and son, Claire just might find salvation.
