A New York Times Editors' Choice One of NPR's Best Books of the Year A beautifully wrought ode to life...a precious gift to the world. --The Washington Post From the bestselling author of I Miss You When I Blink comes a poignant and powerful new memoir that tackles the big questions of life, death, and existential fear with humor and hope.As a daughter, mother, and friend, Mary Laura Philpott considered herself an anxious optimist--a natural worrier with a stubborn sense of good cheer. And while she didn't really think she had any sort of magical protective powers, she believed in her heart that as long as she loved her people enough, she could keep them safe. Then, in the early hours of one dark morning at home, her belief was upended. In the months that followed, she turned to poignant memories, priceless stories, and a medley of coping mechanisms (with comically mixed success) to regain her equilibrium and find meaning in everyday wonders. Hailed by The Washington Post as Nora Ephron, Erma Bombeck, Jean Kerr, and Laurie Colwin all rolled into one, Philpott tackles the big questions of life, death, and existential fear--not to mention the lessons of an inscrutable backyard turtle--with hope, humor, and joy.
