But she looked on the bright side, too, believing that as long as she cared enough, she could keep her loved ones safe.Then, in the dark of one quiet, pre-dawn morning, she woke abruptly to a terrible soundand found her teenage son unconscious on the floor. In the aftermath of a crisis that darkened her signature sunny spirit, she wondered: If this happened, what else could happen? And how do any of us keep going when we cant know for sure whats coming next?Leave it to the writer whose critically acclaimed debut had us laughing and crying on the same page (NPR) to illuminate what it means to move through life with a soul made of equal parts anxiety and optimism (and while shes at it, to ponder the mysteries of backyard turtles and the challenges of spatchcocking a turkey).Hailed byTheWashington Postas Nora Ephron, Erma Bombeck, Jean Kerr, and Laurie Colwin all rolled into one, Philpott returns in her distinctive voice to explore our protective instincts, the ways we continue to grow up long after were grown, and the limitsboth tragic and hilariousof the human body and mind.
