A profoundly moving memoir, This Is Happy reveals the intensity of the grief that besieged the author as the happiness of a longed for family shattered.  Reflecting on tangled moments of past sadness and joy, alienation and belonging, Camilla Gibb revisits her stories (now in relation to the happy daughter who will inherit them), and she finds there new meaning and beauty.

Raw and unflinching, intelligent and humane, This is Happy asks the big questions and finds answers in the tender moments of the everyday.

"A powerful testament to what people can overcome and permission for what people can't." -- Toronto Star
