{"product_id":"happens-every-day-isabel-gillies-9781439126622","title":"Happens Every Day: An All-Too-True Story","description":"\u003cb\u003eIsabel Gillies had a wonderful life--a handsome, intelligent, loving husband who was a professor; two glorious toddlers; a beautiful house in their Midwestern college town; the time and place to express all her ebullience and affection and optimism.\u003c\/b\u003e Suddenly, the life Isabel had made crumbled. Her husband, Josiah, announced that he was leaving her and their two young sons. \"Happens every day,\" said a friend. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Far from a self-pitying diatribe, \u003ci\u003eHappens Every Day \u003c\/i\u003ereads like an intimate conversation between friends. It is a dizzyingly candid, compulsively readable, ultimately redemptive story about love, marriage, family, heartbreak, and the unexpected turns of a life. On the one hand, reading this book is like watching a train wreck. On the other hand, as Gillies herself says, it is about trying to light a candle instead of cursing the darkness, and loving your life even if it has slipped away.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Isabel Gillies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1439126623\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439126622\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scribner Book Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/02\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.50w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/19\/2010 pg. 94","brand":"Isabel Gillies","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980365398271,"sku":"9781439126622","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ae6be3f9-2702-48e3-867a-350bf64a3e38.jpg?v=1683249514","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/happens-every-day-isabel-gillies-9781439126622","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
