Bloomsbury presents The Honesty Box by Lucy Brazier, read by Katherine Press.

‘This gorgeous memoir had me in all my feelings. It’s the raw, funny, moving story of a marriage in crisis. Highly recommend' Jennie Godfrey

A funny, heartfelt, uplifting quest for unlocking happiness in tough times during life's big transitions - from marriage to motherhood, and from mental health to mindfulness.

"On National Divorce Day, my husband Steve and I decide to break up. After years of depression and mood swings (him) and hope and defeat (me) enough is, quite frankly, enough.

Until a chance remark triggers a chain of events leading to Steve’s later-in-life diagnosis of ADHD and autism. What follows is a year of discovery, denial, medication and salvation as we, our teenagers and even our beloved Golden Retriever, Margot, adjust to the ups and downs of this new reality.

I guess you could call it a love story too.”

One wife and mother, one garden, and one year of discovering how honesty, hope and home-grown kindness can change everything.©2025 Lucy Brazier (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Critic Reviews

An honest look at navigating life, marriage, family and neurodiversity
Heart-breaking and heart-warming, but the ultimate message is one of hope: never give up on the one you love
Touching, topical and brilliantly woven together, this love story of despair, food and redemption is utterly charming.
Lucy’s extraordinary, funny, uplifting and deeply touching book is as important as it is brilliantly written. Despite its huge themes - love, difference, discovery, life - the pages turn as easily as a holiday read.
Entertaining, enlightening, shocking and soothing. The joy of gorgeous nature writing mixed with the guilty pleasure of enjoying intimate access to the ups and downs of someone else’s private life. I learnt a great deal about neurodivergence and now want to set up an honesty box.
Beautifully written, by someone who observes nature in all its glorious daily unfolding. (Dorset Magazine)
A beautiful and much needed book about what it is like to be in a relationship with someone who is neurodivergent, and the challenges it can bring! Lucy’s story highlights just how life changing a diagnosis can be, and how it can truly save relationships.
