The Year I Thought Meant Nothing is a deeply personal story about a year that once seemed like an empty space between one life and the next. A visit to Pam, an unexpected conversation, and the words of Desiderata quietly helped a woman begin to see that another life was possible.

Only years later does she understand that the year she thought meant nothing was one of the most important of all—a quiet turning point when healing began, hope returned, and the road forward first came into view.
