MELISSA GOULD
Widowish, a memoir
Writer Melissa Gould shares her story of unimaginable loss in her inspiring memoir that reclaims what it means to be a widow
When Melissa Gould became a widow, she found that she didn’t fit the typical idea of widowhood or meet the expectations of mourning. She didn’t look like a widow or act like a widow, but she felt like one. Melissa was widowish.
Her personal journey through grief and beyond includes unlikely inspiration from an evangelical preacher, the calming presence of some Real Housewives, and the unexpected attention of a charismatic musician.
A modern take on loss, Widowish illuminates the twists of fate that break our world, the determination that keeps us moving forward, and the surprises in life
we never see coming.
