Fishing Widow, The
Wendy L. Yegoiants
Fate delivers its cruelest blow when Martina Sorrel is told of her husband Sam's death in a head-on collision on his way home from his first fishing trip since the birth of their son Max. Having lost a passionate and devoted man, Martina is left to gather her emotional strength as she becomes both mother and father to Max. She battles against the compelling temptations of just giving up or crawling inside a bottle. This is a story of quiet human triumph, of a young woman struggling in the wake of tragedy to rise to meet her own needs and those of her little boy.
"She saw the baby, and then he turned into Sam, laughing broadly, eyes dancing and bright, his chest and shoulders rising and falling in a hearty rhythm. Then Max again, purplish blue stains on his clothes and shoes, dried leaves and sticks poking out of his wild, almost bushy hair."
Bio: WENDY L. YEGOIANTS has been a teacher, puppeteer, baker, editor and Japanese translator. This is her first novel.
