In this powerful and deeply personal memoir, Sarah Hauer Nelson (known to many as Humor In Chaos) takes you on an intimate journey through life's most challenging moments - when everything you believed about love, faith, and family is tested to its breaking point.

​

What happens when the unthinkable becomes your reality? When chronic illness ravages your body, betrayal shatters your trust, and divorce looms despite your deepest religious convictions? As a devoted Catholic who promised her husband that divorce would never be an option, Sarah found herself facing an impossible choice: remain trapped in suffering or find a way to choose joy despite circumstances that threatened to break her.

​

This isn't just another story about overcoming adversity. This is a raw, honest exploration of:

-Finding faith when God seems silent
-Discovering humor in life's darkest moments
-Rebuilding trust after devastating betrayal
-Navigating chronic illness without losing hope
-Choosing joy when everything screams "give up"
