As Anne Lamott knows, the world is a dangerous place. Terrorism and war have become the new normal. Environmental devastation looms even closer. And there are personal demands on her faith as well – getting older; her mother's Alzheimer's; her son's adolescence and the passing of friends and time. Fortunately for those of us who are anxious about the state of the world, whose parents are also aging and dying, whose children are growing harder to recognise as they become teenagers, Plan B offers hope that we're not alone in the midst of despair.

Mike Krüger ist die Kultfigur im deutschen Fernsehen. In den 70ern vertonte er mit "Mein Gott, Walther" das Lebensgefühl der Mittelschicht, in den 80ern erfand er mit Thomas Gottschalk die deutsche Kino-Komödie neu und zur Jahrtausendwende zog er mit "7 Tage, 7 Köpfe" in jedes deutsche Wohnzimmer ein. Doch mühelos verlief sein Leben vor der Ausnahmekarriere keineswegs. Anlässlich seines 40.
