‘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.

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 in 2017.

Her first book in her own name was Christmas at River Cottage and she regularly contributes to The Simple Things magazine.
