Summary

Life has a million different ways to kick you right in the chops. For McInerny, it was losing her husband, her father, and her unborn second child in one catastrophic year. Today remarried and mother of four children, her new circumstances bring her extraordinary joy but are also tinged with sadness over the loved ones she's lost. Here she offers a tragicomic exploration of the tension between finding happiness and holding space for the unhappy experiences that have shaped us. -- adapted from information provided
