Character Analysis

Hannah Martin

Originally from Los Angeles, Hannah Martin is a 29-year-old woman who has spent her entire adult life feeling purposeless and lost. Hannah has spent her twenties moving from city to city, working mostly as a waitress, hoping and failing to discover a sense of belonging in a specific place or career. A self-proclaimed fly-by-the-seat-of-her-pants kind of person, the beginning of the novel sees Hannah moving back to her hometown of LA to live with her childhood best friend, Gabby, in the hopes of establishing a career and planning her future.

In each outcome, Hannah recognizes the value of both divine timing and making “new decisions so that they lead me to better places” (145). Whether she is grappling with the reality of becoming a single mother or learning to walk again, each storyline results in an outcome in which Hannah has managed to meet her goals of finding a home and setting up a life plan that she believes will best allow her to finally feel a sense of purpose and continue to grow and evolve.
