Inspiring, unflinchingly honest, and even at times laugh out loud hilarious, THE ELEGANT ART OF FALLING APART shows us how, sometimes, we have to lose everything to understand that the moment is all we have - and living that moment with style, grace and a damn good lipstick is all that matters. Jessica Jones had a complicated life - booze, cocaine, bad boyfriends, a rollercoaster ride of what self help writers call ‘opportunities for growth’ - but she got way from all that. She rebuilt her career, became prosperous and, at last, found happiness in a wonderful, new relationship. Just when things were almost perfect she learned that she had breast cancer and so Jessica did what she’s always done, she got through it. After seven months of gruelling treatments she travelled from London to Sydney to begin a three-month holiday of a lifetime with her gorgeous man - only to find herself plunged into a different, and totally unexpected, life crisis. Jessica’s story of courage, friendship and laughter gives us all hope that, no matter what, we can always start again.
