The Anonymous Blog of Mrs. Jones

An apartment fire costs everything, including the illusion of a tolerable marriage. Gillian is depressed, her moods shifting like earthquakes, raising deep, roiling anger. Convinced her friends and family won’t understand, she writes a blog as Mrs. Jones, a nondescript anyone. Assuming no one will notice her among millions of voices, the cathartic writing helps her to transform as she makes new friends, seeks help from a non-traditional therapist, and contemplates divorce. Then Mr. Write answers. A strange man who asks questions, who peels away the layers. Gillian finds love, but life is absurdly stubborn. She must confront her husband before she can move on.
