Description
Sylvia Patterson's latest memoir offers an unflinching and poignant account of her journey through mid-life trials. Diagnosed with a life-threatening disease, she found herself facing a global pandemic and the collapse of her industry as a pop journalist. This follow-up to Costa-shortlisted I'm Not with the Band is a heart-wrenching exploration of how life's challenges can shift one's perspective on everything from work and family to what truly brings happiness. As Patterson navigates this new reality, she discovers the power of friendship, the shock of mortality, and the importance of love in times of need. With a mix of gallows humour and poignancy, she recounts her experiences with a walk in the park, a spontaneous dance, and a TV hero that saved her life. This memoir is a thought-provoking exploration of how our bodies and lives can fall apart, and what it means to stay true to oneself. Through her story, Patterson offers a unique insight into the mid-life trials we all face, and the ways in which love, friendship, and perspective can help us navigate even the most challenging times.
