For the oft-witty and infectious Bareilles, Good Grief feels almost jarringly transparent as she immerses us in the kinds of stories artists seldom share so openly with their fans and with their friends. From struggles with infertility to, yes, grief around the deaths of two dear friends to cancer, Bareilles surrounds herself here with people she knows, people she trusts, and people with whom she can manifest a creative environment both healing and entertaining.
Featured Book Review: False Peace by Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez

"False Peace: How to Reject the Lie of Sameness, Embrace Difference, and Embody True Unity" is my second literary adventure with mom, wife, social worker, Bible teacher, and local pastor Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez.
