Book Synopsis


Trade Review

Arbogast delivers a raw and honest narrative of her life as a lover, a widow, and a woman. . .The theme of death and life, both literally and figuratively, are navigated with such emotion, it seems natural to empathize with the author in sadness, joy, love, and uncertainty as her longtime companion (later husband) Jim combats cancer. . . An excellent choice for those touched by grief, ready for a change, or just wanting to read a beautifully written memoir.

* Library Journal *

A genre-busting memoir of grief and survival . . . Arbogast's rugged, honest account is as fresh, inspiring, and unconventional as she clearly is.
