    "description": "<p>A memoir. While mourning her husband&rsquo;s sudden death, Jessica Waite discovered shocking secrets that undermined everything she thought she knew about the man she&rsquo;d loved and trusted. From secret affairs to drug use and a pornography addiction, Waite was overwhelmed reconciling this devastating information with her new reality as a widowed single mom. Then, to further complicate matters, strange, inexplicable coincidences forced her to consider whether her husband was reaching back from beyond the grave. With unflinching honesty, Waite details her tumultuous love story and the pain of adjusting to the new normal she built for herself and her son.</p>\n<p>&ldquo;A candid, raw chronicle of bereavement&rdquo; (Kirkus Reviews), The Widow&rsquo;s Guide to Dead Bastards is also a lyrical exploration of mental health, single parenthood, and betrayal that demonstrates that the most moving love stories aren&rsquo;t perfect&mdash;they&rsquo;re flawed and poignantly real.</p>",
