When You Are Bursting

In WHEN YOU ARE BURSTING, Patrick Combs mines both the outrageous and everyday terrain of his personal life, his family, and his uniquely open-hearted world-view for stories that richly entertain but also point you, the reader, back to your best self.

Delivering a baby on a sidewalk; catching a thief stealing out of his car; explaining the birds and the bees to his son in a restaurant; having half of his face paralyzed while on tour doing comedy; saying goodbye to his mother for the last time...

In these stories, and many more, you'll be moved to laughter, tears, and inspiration by Patrick's fantastic sense of humor, raw vulnerability, and candid appreciation of wonder.
