{"product_id":"ghosting-a-widows-voyage-out","title":"Ghosting: A Widow's Voyage Out","description":"Winner of Pushcart’s Editors Book Award,Ghosting is a love story that is as much about life as it is about death.\nMarried at a young age to an older man , neither he nor she doubted that he would predecease her; but she discovers that there is no preparing for the loss a beloved. Their marriage was a passionate 35 year love affair, as if the odds against its longevity engendered a rare intensity. She discovers that love has no boundaries, grief is not eternal and ?her husband’s motto “Life is a love story” is so very true.\nAscher writes passionately about her unlikely marriage, her husband’s illness and death and her ensuing sorrow. A witness to the insanity that grief visits upon its victims with a seeming determination to destroy, she gazes straight into the eye of grief and does not blink. In time she moves beyond that grief - her voyage out.\nGhosting is, by turns, moving and funny, tender and brutal .\nThe wonder of Ghosting is that Ascher, like Montaigne, calls forth Everyman.\nAbout previous books:\nPat Conroy on Dancing In The Dark:\n“One of those books that wakes you up to the life you have failed to live,…What a wonderful book.”\n\nPublishers Weekly on The Habit of Loving:?\n”With her sharp, unflinching eye, she discovers wonder and truth at our very doorsteps.”\n\nBoston Globe on Landscape Without Gravity:\n“Her honesty touches the reader’s heart, opens the scars of old wounds, and helps heal them…wrenching, insightful…compelling”\n\nEudora Welty on Playing After Dark:\n\"Barbara Ascher has a serious mind and the gift of a light touch.\"\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0960097767\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.0960097767.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Ascher, Barbara\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in acceptable condition.
