The What If Widow

“David is my husband.
David was my husband.
David had an accident.
David died. Five days ago.
I’m twenty-nine and I’m a widow.”

It’s only been a few hours since Kate Wellington buried her thirty-year-old husband. An emergency room doctor and son of wealthy winery owners, David Wellington met Kate by chance in university, then seamlessly wove her into his life and his heart. Their courtship and marriage endured challenges that ultimately strengthened their relationship, but when a freak accident claims David’s life, Kate must learn to prepare for a destiny that is now drastically uncertain.

Kate’s dark and irreverent humour help her navigate this senseless tragedy while she searches for clues in her past that might steer her future in the right direction.

Charming writer, Patrick Donovan, enters Kate’s life, tempting her to negotiate the possibility of love after loss. But, is David’s memory still anchored too tightly to Kate’s perceived fate? Will the tether to her former life prevent Kate from finding peace with Patrick?
