The space between life and death is a moment.
But it is going to remain alive in me for hundreds of thousands of future moments.

One phone call. That is all it took to change Stephanie Wittels Wachs’ life eternally..

Her younger brother Harris, a star in the comedy world known for his work on shows like Parks and Recreation, had died of a heroin overdose. How do you are making sense of this kind of tragic end to a lifetime of such a lot hilarious brilliance?

In beautiful, unsentimental, and surprisingly funny prose, Stephanie Wittels Wachs alternates between her brother’s struggle with addiction, which she learned about three days before her wedding, and the first year after his death, in all its emotional devastation. This compelling portrait of a comedic genius and a profound exploration of the love between siblings is A Year of Magical Thinking for a new generation of readers.

A heartbreaking but hopeful memoir of addiction, grief, and circle of relatives, Everything is Horrible and Wonderful will make you laugh, cry, and wonder if that possum at the fence is in reality your brother’s spirit animal.
