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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGillies, Isabel:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Isabel Gillies is a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eHappens Every Day, A Year And Six Seconds, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eStarry Night, \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eCozy\u003c\/i\u003e.
