We’re proud to welcome author Brendan Donovan and his memoir, HAPPYSAD, to the DPA Communications client roster.
Hilarious, heartbreaking, and uncomfortably honest, HAPPYSAD explores love, regret, addiction, vulnerability, and what happens when a person finally stops pretending and starts being honest with himself.
New York Times bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand calls HAPPYSAD “the Platonic ideal of an unflinching memoir,” adding that Brendan’s story is “both captivating and heart wrenching.”
George “Slaine” Carroll, actor, recording artist and co-founder of Charles River Recovery and Grand Rising Behavioral Health, says Brendan writes “with a kind of vulnerability that can’t be faked,” capturing “the space between humor and tragedy where most of us actually live.”
We’re looking forward to helping share Brendan’s story and bringing HAPPYSAD to even more readers.
