One True Thing is a semi-autobiographical novel that explores complex family dynamics, love, and the difficult realities of terminal illness and end-of-life care. The story centers on Ellen Gulden, a successful 24-year-old journalist living in New York City. Her life is disrupted when her mother, Kate, a traditional homemaker with whom Ellen has never felt a close connection, is diagnosed with advanced cancer. Ellen's demanding, erudite father, George, a college professor whom Ellen has always idealized, insists she quit her job and return home to care for her mother.
