No One Brings You a Casserole When Your Husband Goes to Rehab - by Leah Grey (Paperback)

About the Book

Leah Grey's candid coming-of-age story about poufy dresses, a handsome stranger from New York City, and personal transformation through her husband's struggle with addiction.

Book Synopsis

Leah Grey was still in her twenties 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.

Review Quotes

"Leah Grey is a terrific writer with a great voice and No One Brings You a Casserole... is an engaging read for sure. But more than that, it is a wonderful piece of evangelism that will bring hope to the broken and glory to Jesus Christ. If your life has been touched by addiction in any way, this book provides the comfort you seek. It's a joy!"

"This is a story about hope. It's a captivating story of hope in the face of shame, insecurity, anxiety, failure, addiction, codependency, marriage crises, spiritual warfare, abandonment, rejection, grief and disappointment. It's also a story of faith, trust, persistence and forgiveness. But the most powerful message of the book is that it's a love story. A love story between a struggling couple and their loving heavenly father. If you need a reason to be hopeful in your life, you won't be able to put this book down.

-Grant Mullen M.D., Author of Emotionally Free

"Leah's life story is an exposé on broken hearts and broken dreams. This book should be mandatory reading for every Junior High girl! I think it could save a bunch of broken hearts if it was and help girls to live for more than the attention of a guy who doesn't deserve it. In the book, Leah starts off as a broken, fearful, dreamer, but by the end is a strong, confident, dreamer. I love how she continues to dream BIG and publishing this book is just one more on the list of many things I know she'll accomplish. Leah's openness, with her quirky, witty writing makes this such an easy read that you just don't want to put down. The book is just as interesting as the author!"
