That’s All?

Fresh out of college, Kim Ennis imagined that her first adult job would bring a sense of freedom and direction. However, like many other young professionals, her first few weeks of adulthood were a jarring mix of uncertainty, boredom, and loneliness. It wasn’t until she met Nichole Evans that her life transformed. Nichole was young, outgoing, and kind, and the two quickly built a close friendship. Nichole even introduced her to a boy named Shane who swept Kim off of her feet. Just when it seemed like Kim’s life had reached perfection, a tragic accident severely injured her and took Nichole’s life. Kim was left with a great deal of physical pain and a nearly impossible emotional recovery. She blamed herself for Nichole’s death and struggled to find a sense of meaning and purpose. Speckled with Kim’s dry sense of humor, this touching memoir tells the story of Kim’s attempts to rebuild the shattered remains of her life as she confronts her greatest fears, discovers love, and finds strength and courage from those who are closest to her.
