- Breathe cry breathe : from sorrow to strength in the aftermath of sudden, tragic loss / by Gourdier, Catherine,author.;
"In the fall of 2010, the entire Gourdier family were happily gathering for a surprise zombie-themed party for their youngest sister Julie's 40th birthday when the unthinkable happened. As Julie and her parents returned from church, they were hit at high speed by a car driven by an 80-year-old woman. While Catherine's father escaped without harm, Julie and her mother were rushed to hospital where they succumbed to their injuries. Still reeling from the sudden loss of Julie and their mother, less than six weeks later, their father died suddenly as well - most likely from a broken heart. Breathe Cry Breathe is the story of Catherine's journey through grief, as she tries to come to terms with the traumatic loss of three close family members so suddenly. In the ensuing weeks, months and years, Catherine realizes that 'grief doesn't vanish so quickly. It packs a suitcase and moves into your heart and head.' Gourdier throws herself into practical pursuits - trying to get a crosswalk installed at the site of the accident, advocating for mandatory testing for senior drivers, holding fundraisers for the Special Olympics in her sister's memory - but after years of struggle it's only time - and a secret meeting with the recipient of her sister's donated lungs - that helps her to finally move beyond her debilitating grief."--- Subjects: Autobiographies.; Biographies.; Gourdier, Catherine; Grief.; Bereavement; Parents; Sisters; Traffic accident victims;

"A father's sudden disappearance exposes the private fears, dreams, longings, and joys of a Black American family in the late decades of the twentieth century, in this page-turning and intimate new novel from the author of The Care and Feeding of Ravenously Hungry Girls. It's a warm, bright October afternoon, and Ozro Armstead walks out into the brilliant sunshine on his thirty-seventh birthday. At home, his wife Deborah and daughter Trinity prepare a surprise celebration; down the street, his brother waves as Oz heads back to his office after having lunch together. But he won't make it to the party or even to his briefcase back at his desk. He's about to disappear. In the days, months, and years to follow, Deborah and Trinity look backward and forward as they piece together the life of the man they love, but whom they come to realize they might never have truly known. In a gripping narrative that moves from the Great Migration to 1970s Detroit and 1990s New York, we follow the hopes, triumphs, losses, and secrets that build up and tear apart an American family"--- Subjects: Domestic fiction.; Historical fiction.; Novels.; African American families; African Americans; Missing persons;

- How hard can it be? [sound recording] / by Pearson, Allison,1960-author.; Miller, Poppy,narrator.; Macmillan Audio (Firm),publisher.;
Read by Poppy Miller."Allison Pearson's brilliant debut novel, I Don't Know How She Does It, was a New York Times bestseller with four million copies sold around the world. Called "the definitive social comedy of working motherhood" (The Washington Post) and "a hysterical look--in both the laughing and crying senses of the world--at the life of Supermom" (The New York Times), I Don't Know How She Does It introduced Kate Reddy, a woman as sharp as she was funny. As Oprah Winfrey put it, Kate's story became "the national anthem for working mothers." Seven years later, Kate Reddy is facing her 50th birthday. Her children have turned into impossible teenagers; her mother and in-laws are in precarious health; and her husband is having a midlife crisis that leaves her desperate to restart her career after years away from the workplace. Once again, Kate is scrambling to keep all the balls in the air in a juggling act that an early review from the U.K. Express hailed as "sparkling, funny, and poignant ... a triumphant return for Pearson." Will Kate reclaim her rightful place at the very hedge fund she founded, or will she strangle in her new "shaping" underwear? Will she rekindle an old flame, or will her house burn to the ground when a rowdy mob shows up for her daughter's surprise (to her parents) Christmas party? Surely it will all work out in the end. After all, how hard can it be?"--- Subjects: Audiobooks.; Domestic fiction.; Humorous fiction.; Middle-aged women; Women executives; Married people; Work-life balance; Working mothers; Man-woman relationships; Families;
