Good Grief by Lolly Winston
A brilliantly funny and heartwarming debut 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 13-year-old pyromaniac and an alarmingly handsome actor who inspires a range of feelings she can't cope with--yet.Lolly Winston was born and reared in Hartford, Connecticut, and has an MA in creative writing from Sarah Lawrence College, where her thesis was a collection of short stories. She is the author of the New York Times bestsellers Good Grief and Happiness Sold Separately, the latter of which is being adapted into a film. Her short stories have appeared in publications such as The Sun, The Southeast Review, The Third Berkshire Anthology, and Girls' Night Out. Kiss Tomorrow, Hello and Bad Girls are two collections in which she has contributed essays.
