Summary
Because of catastrophic events such as the World Trade Center tragedy and the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, the demographic of young widows has grown suddenly and dramatically. Of the ten million single mothers in the United States alone, over 40 percent are widows and that doesn't take into account young widows without children in other countries. Such atrocities as the terror attacks in London, Madrid, Pakistan and Syria have increased the statistics of young widows around the world at an alarming rate. Widowhood is a frightening prospect for women of any age, but the reality of becoming a widow in your twenties, thirties and forties can be terrifying. Book jacket.
