It’s the first time in a decade that she hasn’t been living the busy life of a successful children’s musician, and her sense of self is unravelling. To make matters worse, her former bandmates have seemingly abandoned her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn flashbacks, we see Amy’s journey to artistic success—her stumblings as a solo singer-songwriter and her eventual evolution into acclaim as a children’s entertainer. But as the novel progresses—and Amy grapples with a devastating loss—we come to understand how precarious definitions of artistic success can be and how hard it is to truly find our place in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Fun Times Brigade\u003c\/em\u003e examines the enduring challenges of reconciling being an artist with being a mother, and how we ultimately fail and find the need to forgive those we love.
