Jenny Harris always
expected that she’d fall in love, get married, and have a baby–in that
order. Now, very pregnant and not quite married, she actually doesn’t
mind that she and her live-in fiancé, Dean, accidentally started their
family a little earlier than planned; she’s happy to have so much to
look forward to. But Dean–whom Jenny loves enough to overlook his bad
facial hair, his smoking habit, and his total commitment to a cheesy
cover band–is acting distant, and not in a pre-wedding-jitters kind of
way.
The night he runs out for cigarettes and just doesn’t come back, he
demotes himself from future husband to sperm donor.
And the very next day, Jenny goes into labor.
In
the months that follow, Jenny plunges into a life she never
anticipated: single motherhood.
A spirited debut novel
with a terrifically appealing voice, a fantastic sense of humor, and a
lot of heart, The Bright Side of Disaster reminds us that sometimes it
takes the worst-case scenario to show us the best in everything.
