"[A] heartbreaking... look at loss" this New York Times bestseller about a "funny, fresh and utterly believable" young widow is [an] "outstanding debut" (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

A brilliantly funny and heartwarming novel about a young woman who stumbles, then fights to build a new life after the death of her husband. The perfect book for anyone who has ever been heartbroken, lost someone they loved, or eaten too many Oreos.


Thirty-six-year-old Sophie Stanton wants to be a good widow -- a graceful, composed, Jackie Kennedy kind of widow. Alas, she's been drowning her sorrows in ice cream and showing up to work in her bunny slippers and bathrobe. Determined to start over, she moves to Ashland, Oregon, where she finds herself in the middle of a darkly madcap adventure involving a thirteen-year-old pyromaniac and an alarmingly handsome actor who inspires a range of feelings she can't cope with -- yet.


"Just the right blend of heartfelt humor and heartwarming humanity." -- Booklist
