Description
A seemingly content life unravels when a successful author's daughter abruptly abandons her studies to embrace a life of silent protest on a city street, her only communication a sign proclaiming "Goodness." This sudden, inexplicable act forces the mother to confront the hidden complexities beneath the surface of her own carefully constructed reality. As she grapples with her daughter's radical choice, she embarks on a profound journey of self-discovery, questioning the nature of happiness, faith, and the true meaning of a life well-lived. Carol Shields masterfully explores themes of family, societal expectations, and the search for authentic meaning in a world often preoccupied with superficial success.
