THE FULL CATASTROPHE IBD

Sinopse

Casey needs a family of her own: the joys and the sorrows, people who love her, and a place she belongs-what Zorba the Greek called 'the full catastrophe'-and sheâÇÖs determined to make it happen.ááAdrift in the world after losing her father to a heart attack when she was eleven and her mother to cancer soon after, the death of her only sibling eight years later strengthens her resolve.Casey marries, has three children, and though she struggles with grief and a shaky sense of her place in the world, she thinks sheâÇÖs found the life sheâÇÖs longed for. But soon itâÇÖs clear her marriage isnâÇÖt the dream she envisioned. When her husbandâÇÖs behavior shifts from troubling to destructive, a contentious divorce and custody trial propel her family into a catastrophe she never imagined. Searching for meaning, Casey embraces the spirituality sheâÇÖs sought in various forms since her youngest years.áThen the unthinkable happens-her twenty-year-old son Eric dies-and sheâÇÖs left to make sense of her familyâÇÖs collapse and the sudden yet somehow inevitable loss of her beloved boy.A profoundly moving tribute to the power of love,ááThe Full Catastropheáis the story of a life of loss and sorrow transformed into one of hope and redemption. With hard-won wisdom, Casey shows us how peace and belonging can only be found within ourselves.
