“Georgia, an award winning writer from the Julia Louis-Dreyfus hit Veep, gives a wry, honest look at her English upbringing, her struggles with anxiety and parenting two autistic sons. I think anyone can enjoy this memoir, but especially those who are raising autistic children or who simply struggle with anxiety.”
— Roxanne • Bookstore1Sarasota
Multi-award-winning television writer and producer Georgia Pritchett knows a thing or two about anxiety.
From worrying about the monsters under her bed as a child (Were they comfy enough?), to embracing womanhood (One way of knowing you have crossed from girlhood to womanhood is that men stop furtively masturbating at you from bushes and start shouting things at you from cars. It's a beautiful moment) to being offered free gifts after an award ceremony (It was an excruciating experience. Mortifying) worry has accompanied her at every turn.
This memoir is a joyful reflection on just how to live - and sometimes even thrive (sometimes not) - with anxiety.
