'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.”
An honest look at navigating life, marriage, family and neurodiversity * Anna Maxwell Martin *
Heart-breaking and heart-warming, but the ultimate message is one of hope: never give up on the one you love * Veronica Henry *
Touching, topical and brilliantly woven together, this love story of despair, food and redemption is utterly charming. * Dame Joanna Lumley *
Lucy’s extraordinary, funny, uplifting and deeply touching book is as important as it is brilliantly written. Despite its huge themes - love, difference, discovery, life - the pages turn as easily as a holiday read. * Mark Diacono *
Entertaining, enlightening, shocking and soothing. The joy of gorgeous nature writing mixed with the guilty pleasure of enjoying intimate access to the ups and downs of someone else’s private life. I learnt a great deal about neurodivergence and now want to set up an honesty box. * Poppy Okotcha *
Beautifully written, by someone who observes nature in all its glorious daily unfolding. -- Dorset Magazine
A beautiful and much needed book about what it is like to be in a relationship with someone who is neurodivergent, and the challenges it can bring! Lucy’s story highlights just how life changing a diagnosis can be, and how it can truly save relationships. * Rich and Rox Pink, @adhd_love_ *
