The Book of Jo looks at what happens when life falls apart.
How can we maintain hope when the worst happens?
And why do bad things happen anyway?
A woman faced with a rare and random terminal diagnosis sits in the debris of her life contemplating meaning and social justice with the dubious help of the old testament story The Book of Job
