Description

'Moving and inspiring, courageous and true: real art. Just reading her is pleasure' Amy Liptrot, author of The Outrun

What happens when you realise that you must change your life?

When — after years of hiding in routine, shrinking from opportunity, and sleepwalking through your days — you know you want more.

How do you remake your life without breaking it?

The Cure for Sleep is the stunning memoir of a small-town wife and mother who returns from sudden near-death determined to live her second life on a larger, braver scale — whatever it takes, or costs.
