Anxiously Ever After: An Honest Memoir on Mental Illness, Strained Relationships, and Embracing the Struggle

Clint Edwards, beloved author of Father-ish, Silence is a Scary Sound, and I'm Sorry... Love, Your Husband, returns with a new book unpacking the challenges and struggles of living with mental illness. Where Clint's previous books centered on his relationship with his wife and children, he now turns a critical eye towards his own childhood, detailing his experiences coping with anxiety and being raised by parents with their own (undiagnosed) mental illnesses. Though Clint's stories are brutally honest, his humorous nature exposes moments of levity in the face of tragedy and tribulation. Readers will find comfort and familiarity in Clint's struggle as he attempts to avoid the pitfalls his own parents made and strives to be a better parent and spouse himself. Stories include running away from home to live with his grandmother, reconnecting with his mother with the help of a 48-inch clock and a garbage bag, and getting the anxiety poops in ninth grade PE. Clint's sincere voice paired with his knack for finding humor in the darker moments of his life will help spouses, parents, and anyone with parents connect to and find reassurance in his stories.
