“Like Rumpelstiltskin, feverishly spinning straw, desperately trying to turn it into something, anything, before the darkness engulfed me. This book was what I spun to life, and with it, a tiny step, but a step nonetheless, towards life and living again.”

Lucinda Kang is 59, has loved with reckless abandon, and is still here.

Her first book, How To Frame A Life, was written in the wreckage of a seven-year relationship which was home, and also where she was slowly erased. It is not a survival story, not a blame story, not a story that seeks absolution. It is an honest account of what it looks like to keep noticing beauty, keep loving with abandon, when you're also falling apart. It is, quite simply, finally finding voice.

She writes about grief, love, identity, and the quiet, stubborn work of staying open.

She is the founder of The Commons and The Rest & Play, a community for people reshaping themselves in the dark.

She has lived between continents, raised a son who became her greatest teacher, and collected words the way others collect evidence — because sometimes that's what gets you through.

This is her first book. It won't be her last.
