"Oh wow, what a book! So beautifully written, with the right momentum and such truth." -- Megan, advance reader "The author describes her physical and emotional world with equal simplicity and elegance. A must-read on any book list." -- Amanda, advance reader Sara Moss knew she had to go. Taking photos of cranky cruise ship passengers was not the adventure she planned. But adventure - real adventure - dissolves plans and delivers colourful bruises. During more than a decade of exploration, through close to 40 countries, Sara discovers flashpoints of intense loneliness and unrivalled joy. GO is Sara's great escape from the Aussie bush to an induction to journalism in the nation's capital; from hard labour at sea, to writing travel articles for trade and glossy pages, while looking for what's beyond them. Sara walks naked through a San Francisco bath house, learns how to cook buffalo's testicles, and scrambles to find a reliable map for a healthy marriage. GO is about the monkey-grip of internal and external shifts. About the courage needed to take faltering leaps into the unknown. Whether it is a new country, a new love or a new part of yourself. Take a breath, a deep one, and go. "It's poetic, melancholy, hopeful, and stayed with me while I was reading it, and after I was finished." -- Claire, advance readerNote: [US English edition]

Georgia Pritchett is a singularly hilarious person. Her book is a delightful and perfect reflection of her. Its tenderness sneaks up on you and really packs a punch. What a magnificent read!--Julia Louis DreyfusJenny Lawson meets Nora Ephron in this joyful memoir-in-vignettes on living--and thriving--with anxiety from a multiple Emmy Award-winning comedy writer whose credits include Succession and Veep.When Georgia Pritchett found herself lost for words--a bit of a predicament for a comedy writer--she turned to a therapist, who suggested she try writing down some of the things that worried her. But instead of a grocery list of concerns, Georgia wrote this book.A natural born worrywart, Georgia's life has been defined by her quirky anxiety. During childhood, she was agitated about the monsters under her bed (Were they comfy enough?). Going into labor, she fretted about making a fuss (Sorry to interrupt, but the baby is coming out of my body, I said politely). Winning a prestigious award, she agonized over receiving free gifts after the ceremony (It was an excruciating experience. Mortifying). Soul-baring yet lighthearted, poignant yet written with a healthy dose of self-deprecation, My Mess Is a Bit of a Life is a tour through the carnival funhouse of Georgia's life, from her anxiety-ridden early childhood where disaster loomed around every corner (When I was little I used to think that sheep were clouds that had fallen to earth. On cloudy days I used to worry that I would be squashed by a sheep), through the challenges of breaking into an industry dominated by male writers, to the exquisite terror (and incomparable joy) of raising children.Delightfully offbeat, painfully honest, full of surprising wonders, and delivering plenty of hilarious, laugh-out-loud moments, My Mess Is a Bit of a Life reveals a talented, vulnerable, and strong woman in all her wisecracking weirdness, and makes us love it--and her--too.

When her husband's health began its serious decline after open heart surgery, Linda Moran was prepared to support him through a challenging recovery that included a stroke and speech aphasia. But as Dean pinballed from one medical crisis to another, the couple encountered unexpected obstacles from the medical/healthcare system itself. Ultimately nine specialists in Dean's care either didn't keep them informed of new protocols, or the doctors didn't communicate with each other, leading to contradictory care instructions.After two years of chaos, Dean received a referral for hospice care-which meant that he wasn't expected to live for more than six months. Though the prognosis was devastating, hospice brought many surprising benefits: Help navigating a broken system. Spiritual counseling. The freedom to be fully present in life. And an opportunity to make Dean's remaining time what he wanted it to be.Filled with intimate personal stories, as well as practical checklists for those facing a similar journey, The Perks of Hospice shows us how the end of life can be so much more than an ending.Married for almost forty-five years, Dean and Linda Moran did everything together, especially in their two decades as fiber artists, experimenting with an ancient paper process on fabric. Their art provided a needed respite from medical reality and helped them create a lasting legacy at the end of their lives together.
