In the span of four years, she experiences pregnancy loss, the death of a loved one to Covid, a house fire from a lightning strike, a thousand-year flood at a writing workshop, and her husband’s cycling accident.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eWhat to do but take each day as it comes, she learns.
