Smell the Blue Sky: Young, Pregnant, and Widowed

Loss. Hope. Love. The day Valerie discovered she was pregnant was the day her husband died. She didn't know how to be a widow. Widows were old. Not twenty-six and pregnant. Valerie moved cross-country, gave birth, and found solace and healing in art, journaling, and alternative spirituality--discovering along the way how to be strong in the face of single parenting, dating, and reinventing herself after tragic loss. If you like reading memoirs about ordinary people living through extraordinary circumstances, buy today because you'll love Valerie Ihsan's Smell the Blue Sky. "...beautiful, compelling writing...""I strongly recommend this to anyone who is struggling with grief and to anyone who wants a glimpse of the human heart.""A wonderful story of one person understanding their grief as well as their love...
