Smell the Blue Sky: Young, Pregnant, and Widowed

Loss. Hope. Love.

The day Valerie discovered she was pregnant was the day her husband died. She didn't know how to be a widow. Widows were old. Not twenty-six and pregnant. Valerie moved cross-country, gave birth, and found solace and healing in art, journaling, and alternative spirituality--discovering along the way how to be strong in the face of single parenting, dating, and reinventing herself after tragic loss.
