Sorrow and Bliss by Meg Mason


Martha Friel, 40, is beautiful, clever, painfully awkward, and dealing with mental illness that has been misdiagnosed for years. The story begins as Martha’s devoted husband, Patrick, is leaving her just after her birthday party, which he planned and hosted. We then flash back to when she was 17. The story ranges from funny to heartbreaking as it deals with family issues, mental health, love, and life’s ups and downs.
