Sometimes life has other plans...
Sara Bovitz knew how lucky she was - a fulfilling career as a physician, two beautiful children at home, a husband she adored who was the family's center of gravity - she was complete. Until the wheels came off.
When her husband JJ dies after a long battle with brain cancer, it is 3:30 in the morning and a record-breaking blizzard rages outside. By sunrise the city is paralyzed, entombed in 15 inches of snow, and the world has stopped on its axis. But the storm is just beginning for Sara and her two young sons as they struggle to forge a path through their grief. Her qualifications as a doctor are useless, her skills as an only-parent are embryonic, and she knows nothing about the anatomy of a correctly made PB&J sandwich.
The Tricycle offers an intimate portrait of heartbreak, told with humility and humor, as Sara learns what it means to reimagine their lives. It is a powerful reminder that there is light even in your darkest moments, and will leave you rooting for Sara and her boys long after you read the last page.
"
Only the very best memoirists can bring a reader through hell and leave them thankful for the journey. Sara Bovitz is one such writer. Her gorgeous and sometimes very funny memoir,
The Tricycle
, will stay with me forever for its vivid, life affirming and poignant snapshots of family life as her clan went from four to three. It's powerful not just because Sara writes so well, but because she has lived so well. I will be sharing copies of this book with friends new to grief for the rest of my life.
