But Dean is acting distant, and the night he runs out for cigarettes and doesn't come back, he demotes himself from future husband to sperm donor. And the very next day, Jenny goes into labor. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the months that follow, Jenny plunges into a life she never anticipated: single motherhood. At least with the sleep deprivation, sore boobs, and fits of crying (both hers and the baby's), there's not much time to dwell on her broken heart. Then things start looking up: Jenny learns how to do everything one-handed, makes friends in a mommy group, and even gets to know a handsome, helpful neighbor. But Dean is never far from Jenny's thoughts or, it turns out, her doorstep, and in the end she must choose between the old life she thought she wanted and the new life she's been lucky to find.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKatherine Center\u003c\/b\u003e is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eWhat You Wish For, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eHappiness for Beginners\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Husband\u003c\/i\u003e (now a movie)\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003e and five other bittersweet comic novels about how life knocks us down--and how we get back up. \u003ci\u003eBookPage\u003c\/i\u003e calls her \"the reigning queen of comfort reads.\" She lives in her hometown of Houston with her husband and two kids.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 7.9 x 5.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 08, 2008\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51755589566752,"sku":"9780345497963","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/b338038cd1e6fa667f56fc07159c4f6a.webp?v=1780063025","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-bright-side-of-disaster-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
