Inspiring, tragic, and at times heartrendingly funny. PeopleUnsentimental, unexpectedly funny, and incredibly honest, Tragedy Plus Time is a love letter to every family that has ever felt messy, complicated, or (even momentarily) magnificent.Meet the Magnificent CaytonHollands, a trio of brilliant, acerbic teenagers from Denver, Colorado, who were going to change the world. Anna, Adam, and Lydia were taught by their father, a civil rights lawyer, and mother, an investigative journalist, to recognize injustice and have their hearts open to the universethe good, the bad, the heartbreaking (and, inadvertently, the anxietyinducing and the obsessivecompulsive disorderfueling).Adam chose to meet lifes tough breaks and cruel realities with standup comedy; his older sister, Anna, chose law; while their youngest sister, Lydia, struggled to find her place in the world. Beautiful and whipsmart, Lydia was witty, extremely sensitive, fiercely stubborn, and always somewhat haunted. She and Adam bonded over comedy from a young age, running skits in their basement and obsessing over episodes of The Simpsons.When Adam sunk into a deep depression in college, it was Lydia who was able to reach him and pull him out. But years later as Adams career takes off, Lydias own depression overtakes her, and, though he tries, Adam cant return the favor. When she takes her own life, the family is devastated, and Adam throws himself into his standup, drinking, and rage. He struggles with disturbing memories of Lydias death and turns to EMDR therapy to treat his posttraumatic stress disorder when he realizes theres a difference between losing and losing it.Adam CaytonHolland is a tremendously talented writer and comedian, uniquely poised to take readers to the edges of comedy and tragedy, brilliance and madness. Tragedy Plus Time is a revelatory, darkly funny, and poignant tribute to a lost sibling that will have you reaching for the phone to call your brother or sister by the last page.
