There Must Be Something More

I don't know how I always ended up trying
to connect to the universe. And why wasn't I already
connected to the universe? It was all very confusing to me.
I was hoping that one of these days we could just pray to
God, you know that white-haired guy who created heaven and
hell and sent his only son and such. It seemed like a much
easier concept to wrap my brain around.

Nora
Sullivan is trying to find meaning in her life. As a
twenty-five-year-old social worker in a nursing home, it's
not going so well. Her patients are challenging, and her
patience is giving out. Trying to understand the suffering
around her, Nora begins attending a New Age church. Most of
the metaphysical answers she finds there don't make much
sense to her, as she struggles to understand God and what it
means to be a spiritual person. As Nora continues her
spiritual search, she develops a friendship with one of her
patients, a forty-two-year-old woman with Multiple
Sclerosis. It is through her conversations with Maggie that
Nora begins to understand more about her life and what has
really brought her to Longate Nursing Home.
