THE BRIGHT SIDE
Twelve Months, Three Heartbreaks, and One (Maybe) Miracle
Book club catnip for fans of Nora Ephron, Jenny Lawson, Caitlin Moran, and Mindy Kaling
The hilarious and moving story of how a modern woman's life can change utterly in a single year and how, even when life whacks you in the head, you can find yourself rewarded with grace.
What does it mean when every aspect of your life blows up within a matter of months? For Cathrin Bradbury, her year from hell encompassed the death of both her beloved parents, a divorce from her husband of 25 years, the horrendously disruptive repairs to her fire hazard house, and a crushingly disappointing end to a new romance.
As a shell-shocked Bradbury navigates those setbacks, she discovers surprises and miracles around her: After 30 years of ruin, her brother makes an astounding recovery to health and sobriety, and she is reunited with her closest childhood friend after decades of absence. She discovers that the path is steep, the view obscured, but there's light ahead. With candor and wit, Bradbury negotiates major life changes and comes out the other side a stronger version of herself. Cathartic, hilarious, and deeply moving, Bradbury proves that every situation has a silver lining even when i t s just the duct tape holding the fragments of your life together.
CATHRIN BRADBURY is Senior News Director at the CBC. She lives in Toronto.
