Join home renovation expert and entrepreneur Sara McDaniel of Simply Southern Cottage on a journey that goes far beyond transforming old houses. In The Bright Side of the Other Side, she shares her own story of starting over after her life was leveled by a devastating divorce, a health crisis, and career loss. It was in the dust and grime of an abandoned 1926 cottage that Sara discovered a blueprint for her own restoration—and a powerful reminder that even from the most broken foundations, a beautiful new life can be built.
This is more than a memoir; it's a field guide for finding hope in your hardest moments. With the southern charm and heartfelt honesty of a dear friend, Sara demonstrates how the principles of home restoration—seeing potential in the forgotten, having faith through the mess, and diligently working toward renewal—apply to the restoration of the human heart. If you're walking through the wreckage of your own life, feeling abandoned or broken, this book offers you the tools and inspiration to start rebuilding, one day at a time.
Discover how to
- find strength and purpose when your life plans have crumbled;
- see God's craftsmanship at work in the middle of your messiest moments;
- embrace the difficult process of healing as a beautiful act of renewal;
- cultivate resilience and hope, even when the future is uncertain; and
- recognize the profound parallels between restoring a broken home and rebuilding a broken life.
Let Sara's story of incredible faith and resilience show you that no matter how deep the demolition, there is always a bright side waiting for you on the other side of hardship.

About the Author
After a devastating divorce, Sara McDaniel moved to Minden, Louisiana, and walked away from her corporate career to rebuild her life. Restoring a dilapidated 1926 cottage became a powerful metaphor for her own healing—each nail and brushstroke echoing the faith and hope that guided her forward. Sara now shares this journey of resilience and transformation online, inspiring people to embrace second chances. Beyond renovating homes, she founded Phillip’s Cottage, a transitional haven for women and children in recovery, and opened Purvéy, a vintage emporium in historic downtown Minden. Furthering her mission to showcase beauty in the broken, Sara also renovated The Villas at Spanish Court: eight abandoned apartments turned into a boutique overnight stay experience just on the edge of downtown Minden. Her story proves that from broken foundations, new beginnings can rise.
