A breathtaking book of essays about the shocks - of joy, of sadness, of survival - that make up a life, from the author of Here Come's the Miracle

We All Come Home Alive is the story of a life told through the moments which remade it - from car crashes to first kisses, from the stumbling magic of drunkenness to the tearing open of birth - to offer consolation and companionship, deep wisdom and luminous beauty.

'Intelligent, poised and emotionally exacting. Beecher's evocative essays on life's defining moments unpick how we might be made and remade by life'
Cal Flyn, author of Islands of Abandonment
