It started with a simple question: how has the coronavirus pandemic changed your life?

We asked, sixteen writers answered – and this essay collection was born.

We Have it Totally Under Control is a literary time capsule of sorts. Authored by people from many walks of life, this anthology covers topics from cancer to unemployment to grocery shopping. Some essays are joyful; others are so heartbreaking they're difficult to read. But these essays all have one common thread: they're written by humans who've lived through one of the most difficult periods in recent history, and who had the courage and vulnerability to share their stories.

You'll read about:

  • What it's like to live through a pandemic with postpartum depression, cancer, or an ex-spouse.
  • The history of the handshake – and what the future holds for this timeless gesture.
  • Raising a million dollars to end homelessness during one of the most difficult economic periods in history.
  • A family who rebuilt beautiful relationships after decades of trauma.

    ...and much more.

    The pandemic has changed so many lives, and We Have it Totally Under Control chronicles just a few of them. But there's a good chance that in at least one of these stories, you'll see echoes of your own.
