Can life be beautiful after it breaks?
Treating each life as a work of art, THE ART OF BEING BETSY follows a woman in flight from the wreckage of her life—moving through each color she once held dear, and each hue of what remains. This literary novel centers on a woman rebuilding her life in the aftermath of her devastating choices. Returning to her small hometown in rural Texas after decades away, she learns how to find beauty in what has been broken and meaning and laughter in who she has become. Laced with dark humor, the novel asks what true beauty is—while engaging art, parenthood, self-worth, and the re-discovery of intimacy.
