# How We Got by: 111 People Share Stories of Survival, Resilience, and Hope Through Hardship - Hardcover

by **Shaina Feinberg** (Author), **Julia Rothman** (Author)

**When your world is upended, how do you react? Who do you become? _New York Times_ columnists, illustrator Julia Rothman and writer Shaina Feinberg, seek answers to these questions and more in this gorgeously illustrated collection of sometimes heartbreaking, always illuminating first-person stories.**

Based on one of Feinberg and Rothman's columns in the _New York Times_, "How We Got By: New Yorkers' Advice for Getting Through a Crisis," _How We Got By_ is an ambitious journalistic undertaking rendered in an artful, collectible package. Each accompanied by one of Rothman's full-color illustrated portraits, these personal accounts touch on a wide variety of subjects, from money and business to relationships, family, trauma, and death.

A window into the world of how others think, feel, and, ultimately, survive, _How We Got By_ invites us to remember our shared humanity as well as our truly extraordinary resilience.
