There is a particular flavour to the kind of laughter that arrives uninvited — the laugh that surprises you in the middle of a bad day, that bubbles up while you are still pretending to be composed.
I have spent most of my life trying to be composed. And most of my best stories begin the moment I stopped trying.
This is a book about twelve such moments. Twelve scoops of an ordinary life, served with a generous helping of honesty and a quiet wink.
