And while she didn't really think she had any sort of magical protective powers, she believed in her heart that as long as she loved her people enough, she could keep them safe. Then, in the early hours of one dark morning at home, her belief was upended. In the months that followed, she turned to poignant memories, priceless stories, and a medley of coping mechanisms (with comically mixed success) to regain her equilibrium and find meaning in everyday wonders. Hailed by The Washington Post as \"Nora Ephron, Erma Bombeck, Jean Kerr, and Laurie Colwin all rolled into one,\" Philpott tackles the big questions of life, death, and existential fear--not to mention the lessons of an inscrutable backyard turtle--with hope, humor, and joy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMary Laura Philpott, nationally bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eI Miss You When I Blink \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Bomb Shelter\u003c\/i\u003e, writes essays and memoirs that examine the overlap of the absurd and the profound in everyday life.
