What happens when your world collapses, not just the situation around you, but also your sense of who you are? What happens after mind busting trauma? Mary Blu arrives on that shore in a small apartment in downtown Minneapolis, reluctantly awakening to grief, insight, courage, comedy and even romance. She weaves these strands of experience together into the spiral of life.
