Publisher Description
A novel
As a writer for the local newspaper, Alex Hanson is naturally curious. When she crosses paths with Bobby — a bedraggled regular at Wilkins Place — she becomes intrigued. Who was this man, and what was his story? As she works to uncover the mystery surrounding Bobby, Alex realizes the same questions might just apply to her own life.
Who was she, and what was her story?
"I wanted to sing a song about life. My life. Because it was a good life and it was only going to get better. I knew that now."
Songs About Life is funny, honest, and completely impossible to put down. It follows Alex on a gloriously messy journey of self-discovery — through the people she meets, the friends who save her, and the lovers who absolutely do not. Witty and warm, laugh-out-loud funny and quietly moving, it's the kind of book you finish and immediately want to press into someone's hands.
Alex Hanson is every woman — flawed and scarred, haunted by her past, uncertain about her future, and absolutely determined to face whatever comes her way with charm, dignity, and a healthy sense of the ridiculous.
She knows exactly what she wants.
She just has absolutely no idea how to get it.
"I absolutely LOVED this book. Trish's writing style is amazing and I just couldn't put it down. I can't count the number of times I laughed out loud and then in the next paragraph was almost brought to tears. Her writing is very real - no fluff or filler. It was an absolute joy to read and honestly I can't wait to find out what happens to Alex in the next book! Hurry up Trish! We're all waiting!" (C. MacDonald)
"This book was hilarious, it truly was. I don't often laugh out loud while reading, but with this book, I just couldn't help myself. But Alex and her adventures also made me think about life and what was important. A great read! Very recommended!" (W. Kampers)
