Charity Woodrum’s profoundly moving life in four acts:
Act One: Hardscrabble beginning growing up in rural Oregon with a family teetering on the edge of poverty.
Act Two: Fairytale marriage and motherhood plus career fulfillment via the physics department at the University of Oregon.
Act Three: The Worst Day
Act Four: Through the support of a caring community, Charity finds her lifeline
In today’s chaotic world few will avoid catastrophe of either a personal and/or professional nature. What is it that propels us to recover and reengage with life? For Charity, while grappling with grief, panic attacks and PTSD, it was finding something bigger than herself or the material world. For Charity, it was looking to the stars.
