All the Lives I’ve Lived Already: Essays on Chaos, Motherhood and Beginning Again is a memoir in essays about a woman who has never once gotten the life she planned for — and has lived something far more interesting. From an alcoholic mother and an absent father, to a decade following her husband’s basketball career across seven countries, to building a luxury design business from scratch while raising three children, including one with autism, across two continents — this is a book about the specific, unglamorous, occasionally absurd work of beginning again, told by a woman who has had no choice but to become an expert at it.

What sets this book apart is the voice that moves through the accumulation of extraordinary circumstances—sharp, self-deprecating, and effortlessly hilarious. Despite overcoming time and time again, this is not a book about survival; it’s about adaptation—the specific, unglamorous, occasionally absurd work of beginning again… and again… and again, told by a woman who has become an expert at it out of sheer necessity.
