‘I read this book in two sit downs! It is filled with compassion. An honest look at navigating life, marriage, family, neurodiversity and veg.’ Anna Maxwell Martin

‘A truly beautiful, magical book – I urge you to give it to anyone having a midlife wobble, because Lucy is unashamed about showing her vulnerability and what it is to be human, a woman, a wife and a mum in the 21st century. Heart-breaking and heart-warming, but the ultimate message is one of hope: never give up on the one you love.’ Veronica Henry

"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 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, set out to embrace this new reality. But will my plan to start an amateur honesty box business from our tiny Devon village be the catalyst to bring us together, or drive us further apart?

This is about what it is like to try and rebuild a marriage. It is a funny, heart-wrenching, uplifting quest for truth, transformation and marrows.

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

‘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_

Lucy Brazier is a ghostwriter and author. She began her career at the BBC before becoming a talent agent at PFD (now United Agents) representing actors and presenters. After twenty years, she and her young family left London and moved to Dorset where she worked with the broadcaster, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, before becoming a full time ghostwriter six years ago. She has worked on many writing projects and written nine books on behalf of high-profile people, across a range of subjects including lifestyle, food, interiors, education, money and memoir. Her first book in her own name was Christmas at River Cottage and she regularly contributes to The Simple Things magazine. Her second book, The Honesty Box, is a non-fiction narrative capturing a year in her life through her home, village, husband’s ASD diagnosis and honesty box. She swims in the sea most mornings, but doesn’t like to go on about it…
