Bomb shelter : love, time, and other explosives

Philpott, Mary Laura2022
Book
A lifelong worrier, Philpott also learned to look on the bright side, too, believing that as long as she cared enough, she could keep her loved ones safe. In the aftermath of a crisis that darkened her signature sunny spirit, she wondered: How do any of us keep going when we can't know for sure what's coming next? Here she illuminates what it means to move through life with a soul made of equal parts anxiety and optimism, exploring the limits -- both tragic and hilarious -- of the human body and mind. -- adapted from jacket.
