As Joan Approaches Infinity - Paperback

As Joan Approaches Infinity is a dark comedy about a middle-aged woman and pivotal moments that spiral from the main character's ecstasy and despair. She is married to her college sweetheart and has two children. A mother, adjunct instructor, and woman with a mission, Joan approaches her life with childlike determination to change her world and her community. While her growth spirals, she ends up in the same place again and again in the tumultuous waves of her existence. Spiral in form, the novel and Joan grow through repetition and the longing toward something new and the certainty of her love. This is a raucous ride through the mind of a flawed but lovable character and a testament to the challenges of women in a late-stage-capitalist America.
