A Memoir

Signs of Life

Jeannette Ordas

Man, having your husband die unexpectedly would totally suck. It's something I couldn't really fathom because I know I'd be a total wreck, but the author survives and thrives. There's way too many friends with goofy nicknames that I could never keep straight, but I did like how each chapter related to a book that she was teaching in her high school English class. Also made me really think about us getting life insurance.

Signs of Life is Natalie Taylor's story. It starts the day her husband dies and ends sixteen months later on her son's first birthday. Natalie's journey from wife to widow to mother is heartbreaking, blackly funny and will move you to laughter and tears as she makes it across that finish line. And you have no doubt she will make it because Natalie is a warrior and a woman to cheer for. Intelligent, witty and moving, this is the very best kind of indie movie in a book. A book to delight, to treasure and to press into the hands of your best friend.
