Description
A collection of refreshingly honest and hilarious essays from Southern Living columnist Elizabeth Passarella about navigating changewhether emotional or logisticaland staying sane during lifes unexpected twists and turns.
After Elizabeth Passarella and her husband finally decided that it was time to sell their two-bedroom apartment in Manhattan, she found herself wondering, Is there a proper technique for skinning a couch? The couch in question was a beloved hand-me-down from her fatherwho had recently passed awayand she was surprisingly reluctant to let the nine-foot, plaid, velour-covered piece of furniture go. So, out came the scissors. She kept the fabric and tossed the couch.
Weve all had to make decisions in our lives about what to keep and what to tosshabits, attitudes, friends, even homes. In this new collection of essays, Elizabeth explores the ups and downs of moving forwardboth emotionally and logisticallywith her welcome candor and sense of humor that readers have come to love. She enters into a remarkable (and strange) relationship with an elderly neighbor whose apartment she hopes to buy, examines her own stubborn stances on motherhood and therapy, and tries to come to terms with a family health crisis that brings more questions than answers. Along the way Elizabeth reminds readers that when they feel stuck or their load feels heavy, there is always light breaking in somewhere.
It Was an Ugly Couch Anyway will make readers laugh, cry, and feel a little less alone as they navigate their own lives that are filled with uncertainty, change, and things beyond their control.
