'This gorgeous memoir had me in all my feelings. It's the raw, funny, moving story of a marriage in crisis. Highly recommend' Jennie Godfrey

A funny, heartfelt, uplifting quest for unlocking happiness in tough times during life's big transitions - from marriage to motherhood, and from mental health to mindfulness.

"On National Divorce Day, my husband Steve and I decide to break up. After years of depression and mood swings (him) and hope and defeat (me) enough is, quite frankly, enough.

Until a chance remark triggers a chain of events leading to Steve's later-in-life diagnosis of ADHD and autism. What follows is a year of discovery, denial, medication and salvation as we, our teenagers and even our beloved Golden Retriever, Margot, adjust to the ups and downs of this new reality.

I guess you could call it a love story too."

One wife and mother, one garden, and one year of discovering how honesty, hope and home-grown kindness can change everything.
