Returning to Foyles to present her heartbreaking, tender, at times funny, and ultimately uplifting memoir, Cathy Rentzenbrink joins friend and author Matt Haig for this conversation event. Rentzenbrink's life was changed in the summer of 1990 when her brother Matty was knocked down by a car, just two weeks before receiving his GCSE results. Gathered around his unconscious body at the hospital, the family desperately prayed for his survival. But as Matty did survive, the question shifted to the condition of his life; eight years on, coming to experience that there are many and various fates worse than death, Rentzenbrink came to realise that she had been praying for the wrong thing.
