What We Have: A Memoir

  • From the Publisher
August 28, 2013
At thir­ty-two, Amy Boesky had it all: a won­der­ful new man in her life, a great job, and the (near­ly) per­fect home. For once, she was almost able to shake the ter­ri­ble fear that had gripped her for as long as she could remem­ber.

Women in her fam­i­ly had always died young-from can­cer-and she and her sis­ters were pre­vivors grow­ing up in time’s shad­ow. But rather than dwelling on fear, Amy want­ed to plan for a new baby and live her life. In What We Have, Amy shares a trans­for­ma­tive year in her fam­i­ly’s life and invites read­ers to join in their joy, laugh­ter, and grief.
