Résumé
Sometimes the worst thing that can happen is exactly what you&;ve been waiting for.
&;Novels as polished and mature as The Bright Side of Disaster just don&;t come along very often from first-time novelists or, for that matter, from those with much longer résumés. . . . This story of a youthful-but-optimistic single mom rings bittersweet and utterly authentic.&;&;The Dallas Morning News
Very pregnant and not quite married, Jenny Harris doesn&;t mind that she and her live-in fiancé, Dean, accidentally started their family a little earlier than planned. But Dean is acting distant, and the night he runs out for cigarettes and doesn&;t come back, he demotes himself from future husband to sperm donor. And the very next day, Jenny goes into labor.
In the months that follow, Jenny plunges into a life she never anticipated: single motherhood. At least with the sleep deprivation, sore boobs, and fits of crying (both hers and the baby&;s), there&;s not much time to dwell on her broken heart. And things are looking up: Jenny learns how to do everything one-handed, makes friends in a mommy group, and even gets to know a handsome, helpful neighbor. But Dean is never far from Jenny&;s thoughts or, it turns out, her doorstep, and in the end she must choose between the old life she thought she wanted and the new life she&;s been lucky to find.
Praise for The Bright Side of Disaster
&;Beautifully penned and truly memorable . . . a heartwarming and deeply emotional debut.&;&;BookPage
&;The Bright Side of Disaster is a treat of a book. It is so warm, so smart, so touching, so wise&;and, despite its poignancy, you read the whole thing with a laugh in your throat.&;&;Anna Maxted, author of A Tale of Two Sisters
&;A funny and poignant novel about love, motherhood and men . . . elevates the subject matter beyond the realm of &;mommy lit.&; &;&;Houston Chronicle
