The Widow's Season

Winner - 2005 Faulkner-Wisdom Award for Best Novel-in-Progress

Sarah McConnell’s husband had been dead three months when she saw him in the grocery store. ..

So begins the story of a young widow who believes that she is being haunted by her husband’s ghost. In a surprising plot that follows the holiday seasons from Halloween to Easter, Sarah must negotiate the tenuous line between the living and the dead, in order resurrect her own dormant spirit.

"Brodie expertly walks the line between reality and fantasy, life and death, heartache and love, leaving readers hoping for the best and prepared for the worst—without ever really knowing the truth—until the final five pages." --Publishers Weekly

“Laura Brodie confronts all the twists and turns of grief and loss, love and marriage, and the human heart with honesty, humor, and great intelligence. This novel is spellbinding, right up to its surprising and poignant final page.” -- Ann Hood, author of The Knitting Circle
