What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
How do you rebuild your life when suddenly everything changes?
How do you make sense of this new world, this path you didn’t know you had to walk down?
When you are sideswiped by a catastrophic sh*t show, the prospect of putting the pieces back together can feel utterly impossible. In these difficult times, we seek comfort and guidance – a way through the pain – and this book will do just that.
Led by the author’s own journey from a chain-smoking mess to a marathon-running nerd, as well as other women who have faced life’s biggest challenges and grown stronger through them, you’ll discover ways to find joy and laughter once again.
With heart-warming stories and hilarious confessions, as well as practical wisdom and advice, How to Face Big Change is full of courage, hugs and hope. See this book as a glorious group of friends cheering you on to get back up and come back stronger.
