A story of grief, motherhood, widowhood, and the slow, voluminous work of becoming whole again — on one's own terms.
At its heart, this is a book about refusing to be reduced to a single word — widow — when a person is always several things at once.
“I understood with startling clarity how widowhood can reorganise a woman socially, from a central person to a negotiable presence.”— Refusing to Live in Black & White
