One of These Mornings is the moving story of Melanie, a young woman from a once-rich and thoroughly dysfunctional family. Melanie escapes by hitchhiking across the country, and she ends up in California, pregnant and married to Ray, a man "irresistibly attracted to women" and busy hanging out with drug dealers. When Melanie slides into post partum depression, she is hospitalized, which gives her time to reflect on her life and empower her to make the changes she needs to survive. Told in present tense and in flashbacks, One of These Mornings, is a beautiful account of how life doesn"t always turn out how you planned, and how that isn’t necessarily a detriment.
