- The bright side : twelve months, three heartbreaks and one (maybe) miracle / by Bradbury, Cathrin,author.;
"The hilarious and moving story of how a modern woman's life can change utterly in a single year--and how, even when life whacks you in the head, you can find yourself rewarded with grace. What is a woman to do when every aspect of her life blows up within a matter of months? For Cathrin Bradbury, her year-from-hell encompassed the death of both her beloved parents, a divorce from her husband of 25 years; horrendously disruptive repairs to her expensive house; and a crushingly disappointing end to a new romance. As a shell-shocked Bradbury navigates those setbacks, she discovers surprises and miracles around her: after 20 years of upheaval, her troubled brother makes an astounding recovery to health and sobriety; she is reunited with her closest childhood friend after decades of absence. She discovers that the path is steep, the view obscured, but there's light ahead. With candor and wit, Bradbury negotiates major life changes and comes out the other side a stronger version of herself. Cathartic, hilarious, and deeply moving, Bradbury proves that every situation has a silver lining--even when it is just the duct tape holding the fragments of your life together."-- Provided by publisher.- Subjects: Bradbury, Cathrin.; Life change events.;

- The Bright Side [electronic resource] : Twelve Months, Three Heartbreaks, and One (Maybe) Miracle / by Bradbury, Cathrinaut; CloudLibrary;
“Anyone who has had their life completely gutted and rewired will adore this family story. Bradbury's dark humour and gloriously upbeat voice makes it the perfect antidote to a tough year. I loved it!” —Plum Johnson, author of They Left Us Everything The hilarious and moving story of how a modern woman's life can change utterly in a single year—and how, even when life whacks you in the head, you can find yourself rewarded with grace. Cathrin Bradbury's life imploded in the space of a few months. Her beloved parents died, her marriage limped to an end after twenty-five years, her heavily mortgaged house turned against her, and a promising new romance ended in crushing disappointment. But somewhere in that year, a new path, or three or four, began to open up. As Bradbury navigates the setbacks, her troubled brother makes an astounding recovery to health and sobriety. She is reunited with her closest childhood friend after a long absence, with deeply satisfying results. She and her four siblings feel their way to becoming a new kind of family without their parents. And her adult children emerge into sharper focus, each gloriously and uniquely themselves. Slowly, she discovers that the path is steep, the view obscured, but there's light ahead. Cathartic, hilarious, and profoundly moving, The Bright Side broadens the way we think and talk to each other about the ordinary experiences we all share. A master of the uncomplaining voice, Bradbury combines grace and humanity to look at the world unflinchingly and see what makes it wonderful and absurd at the same time, and to let us all in on the secret.General adult.Electronic reproduction.Online resource; title from digital title page (CloudLibrary, viewed April 2, 2025).- Subjects: Electronic books.; Women; BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY; Later Years; Life Stages; FAMILY & RELATIONSHIPS;
