The inspirational new book from the bestselling author of When the Dust Settles

'A shining beacon of sense and wisdom. We can all benefit from reading this brilliant book about how to respond with resilience.' RACHEL CLARKE
'An unlikely superhero' SUNDAY TIMES
'An amazing woman' JAMES O'BRIEN

We all experience uncertainty, change and loss. How can we weather the storms, and cope with whatever comes next?

No one can answer this better than Lucy Easthope, an emergency planner whose job is to support survivors of major disasters. Time and again she has watched how people rebuild: the work, the pitfalls and the fragile joy. In Come What May, she distils for us what she has learned about how to carry on and come back stronger.

Through poignant stories and hard-won wisdom, she offers a roadmap for resilience in the face of adversity. She explains what shape the recovery journey might take, how to triage your life, how to plan for 'the slump' (also known as the lasagne phase), and what good (and bad) help looks like.

This is a book for all of us who want not just to survive, but to live and unleash strengths we never knew we had.©2025 Lucy Easthope

It took me reading Lucy Easthope's first book where I got to know so much about how disasters are managed afterwards (& with plans of before too). I then came here once Lucy wrote this very informative and personal piece with compassion, practical ideas and empathy. Thank you Lucy!

The BEST of the best! Thank you!
