Description
The Death (and Life) of an ’80s Wild Child
A Literary Memoir by Michelle Hoffmann
What happens when you survive things that were supposed to break you?
Thorns of Happiness is a raw, intimate literary memoir tracing one woman’s journey through trauma, rebellion, motherhood, addiction, love, loss, and survival across decades. Beginning with a near-fatal car accident that left her in a six-week coma, Michelle Hoffmann recounts the complicated aftermath of survival — the years of chaos, resilience, reinvention, and unexpected grace that followed.
Set against the backdrop of the late ’80s and beyond, this memoir explores what it means to grow up wild, make impossible mistakes, and still keep moving forward. It is not a story of perfect healing or tidy redemption. It is a story of endurance — of building a life piece by piece when certainty is gone.
Written with honesty, vulnerability, and emotional depth, Thorns of Happiness speaks to anyone who has ever wondered whether they were strong enough to survive their own life.
