About the Author
Mary Francis found parts of herself in the experiences that the other widows had before her. When her husband died he was fifty-three and she was fifty. Twenty-seven years of marriage and then she was single, but she didn't feel single. In fact she was not married, not divorced and really not single--and so she was a Widow. How odd that seemed!

After reading this book I was so impressed with Mary's writing that I purchased the book for every widow that I knew. This type of support for widows is long over due. Every story is written from the heart and no details are left out. I highly recommend this book to any new or long time widow. It will make you laugh and make you cry but most of all it brings tremendous comfort knowing that you are not alone and your feelings are normal.
By Jane
Format:Paperback
From this author's pain from the loss of her loved one, she reaches out to those who have also suffered and are in pain from their loss. We, the readers, are given the rare opportunity of listening to their very private and personal stories which the author conveys in the widows very own words. Reading the Sisterhood of Widows definitely lets widows know they are not alone and would highly recommend to any widow in need of understanding or to anyone you might know who is also in need.
