About this item

Kelly Williams Brown had two Very Bad years. In just a short time period, her marriage collapsed, she broke four bones (in separate and unrelated incidents) , her father was diagnosed with cancer...and she wound up in a psychiatric hospital. But right before that she had a few Very Good years: she wrote a bestselling memoir, spoke at NASA, had a beautiful wedding, and inspired hundreds of thousands of readers to live as grown-ups in an often-screwed-up world. Through all of it though, Brown was grappling with mental illness. It didn't matter if it was a Good or a Bad time, it was simply her reality. What got her through it was, improbably, crafting. Not Martha Stewart-perfect crafting, either--it was rough-and-tumble, fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants creating that was Brown's lifeline during her darkest days.
