Summary
 A good Catholic girl. A bad Last Supper. A very long year.Sarah Small had a charmed life: a judges daughter, a Seattle attorney, and the wife of a tall, handsome pilot. Then one night her husband skipped grace and announced this would be his last supper. Shed always teased him for being a drama king. This time he wasnt kidding. A week later she was a bridesmaid at her brothers wedding, walking down the aisle beside him. The theme was Lego and lavender, and she got through the day on sixteen Valium. Then came the insomnia, and a doctor with a prescription pad and no brakes. Within weeks, Sarah went from courtroom to locked psych ward, and her familys idea of help turned out to be part of the problem. What followed was a year so relentless it reads like satire: a diagnosis she wouldnt accept, a divorce, a career change no law school prepares you for, and a car crash, just in case shed gotten too comfortable. Somehow she comes out the other side, with a lotus tattoo, an annulment, vows to herself, and a one-way plan to Bali, where she wrote this book in twenty-eight days. Darkly funny and painfully honest, A Sea of Lego & Lavender is for anyone whose life fell apart in a single night and who refused to stay down. What doesnt kill you, didnt kill you. So now what? The Proof of Life series:A Sea of Lego & Lavender, Gold Paint & Purple Flowers, The Brass & Oak Butterfly, and Pizza, Pikliz, & Pinchos. @lawyer_memoirist©2024 Sarah Small (P)2026 Sarah Small
