About this book
The brilliantly funny and heartwarming New York Times bestseller about a young woman who stumbles then fights to build a new life after the death of her husband. 36-year-old Sophie Stanton loses her young husband to cancer. In an age where women are expected to be high-achievers Sophie desperately wants to be a good widow?a graceful composed Jackie Kennedy kind of widow. Alas Sophie is more of a Jack Daniels kind. Downing cartons of ice-cream for breakfast breaking down in the produce section of supermarkets showing up to work in her bathrobe and bunny slippers?soon she?s not only lost her husband but her job and her waistline as well. In a desperate attempt to reinvent her life Sophie moves to Ashland Oregon. But instead of the way it?s depicted in the movies with a rugged Sam Shepherd kind of guy finding her Sophie finds herself in the middle of Lucy-and-Ethel madcap adventures with a darkly comic edge. Still Sophie proves that with enough humor and chutzpah it is possible to have life after loss.
