Some People Have Real Problems

Abstract

This thesis is a creative work; a novel, which tells the story of a 28 year old divorce attorney who begins a dissociative, downward spiral. The story is told as a first person narrative through her eyes and begins as she stands on the roof of her Manhattan apartment building contemplating a dive. It's told through a series of vignettes detailing pieces of her past and present experiences as she navigates through life with her over-brimming and darkly natured mind often getting in her way.
