“A world changing book on health and wellness for this millennium.” —Living Now Book Awards

Sometimes, in the blink of an eye, the unthinkable can happen; events in your life that cause you to ask Why me?

Inspired and inspiring, award-winning author Jane Enright’s extraordinary, uplifting memoir captures her journey as she survives three life-altering events in the span of a year, losing almost everything, and comes out the other side stronger, more resilient, and happier than ever before. Compelling and thought provoking, Butter Side Up is not only a feel-good story that everyone can relate to and learn from, but also proof there can be happiness and joy after the unexpected—and a super awesome life, too.
