es when her life fell apart. She couldn't decide what was more depressing--the state of her marriage, or the fact that she lived in Jersey City instead of Manhattan.

Until meeting her husband, she'd lived the most cliché life. She'd come from a small town in Canada that smelled like fish or manure, depending on the season. She'd fallen in love with the boy down the road, and she had a dog. Her life had been unbearably predictable--until one snowy New Year's Eve, a tall, dark, and handsome stranger from New York City walked into her life.

Her debut book, No One Brings You a Casserole When Your Husband Goes to Rehab, is a poignant coming-of-age story about curly-haired boys and the dark side of having your dreams come true. From poufy dresses and a whirlwind romance to considering when it was time to jump into the Hudson River, Leah candidly tells of her personal transformation through her husband's struggle with addiction. Her story offers hope to every girl who has felt like she needed to run away from her dreams because they didn't come true.
