Receipts are about the evidence of existence. It is about a woman who searches for meaning in the every day, meaning that is mired by grief, stress, and societal pressures. This is a book of purpose: a purpose lost and found. This is a book of hope—a hope to get through the muck of mental illness and a hope to be well in a new normal. Existence is evidence.
