In My Misfortune, I Am Most Fortunate

Teresa Renda Carlson is no stranger to tragedy. Between an endless cascade of health crises starting in 1972, and her front-row seat to the myriad horror shows that mankind inflicts upon itself, Teresa has spent a lifetime practicing the art of coping. Not only did she cope, but truly made a heaven of hell.
In this follow-up to her Oddyssey trilogy, Carlson shares an inspiring account of one woman summoning beauty amid ugliness, art amid chaos, generosity amid human destructiveness, and above all, joy amid the barrage of adversities that life has bombarded her with. In these times of uncertainty, may Teresa's stories of a relentless zest for life despite it all remind us that it is ultimately we who create our own fortune.
