New York Times bestselling author! Clare Mackintosh, I PROMISE IT WON'T ALWAYS HURT LIKE THIS: 18 Assurances on Grief

New York Times bestselling author Clare Mackintosh joins Zibby to discuss I PROMISE IT WON’T ALWAYS HURT LIKE THIS, a deeply honest and compassionate memoir about the unfathomable grief she navigated after the loss of her five-week-old son and the solace and hope she slowly began to feel. Clare reflects on her journey through grief, sharing insights on how it evolved over time, and then describes the memoir writing process, which was painful and unlocked unresolved emotions. Then, she touches on her career as a bestselling thriller author, her transition from police officer to writer, and the impact of grief on her life and work.
