Simultaneously laugh out loud hilarious and deeply heartbreaking, Chittick\u2019s memoir serves as a guide not only for anyone navigating loss but for anyone who needs a reminder that happiness can come in the most surprising places.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt feels a little inappropriate to admit this about a memoir about losing your husband but I howled with laughter on almost every page of this book,\u201d says publisher Anna David. \u201cKelsey has a gift I\u2019ve never seen before of weaving hilarity into tragedy.
