An emotional and luminous memoir of a 24-year-old newly married, pregnant high school teacher whose husband is suddenly killed. A journey from wife to widow to mother. Witty, exhilarating and unforgettable.
Twenty-four-year-old Natalie Taylor has led a charmed life. Surrounded by her large, close-knit family, she enjoys her meaningful job as a high school English teacher, cherishes being married to her college sweetheart and is ecstatic about their baby on the way. Then her husband dies in a freak skateboarding accident and in an instant life as she knew it was over. With the help of her dark wit, her rich fantasy life and her love of literature, Natalie finds the strength to come back from the depths of despair - she is a warrior and you cheer for her.
NOT a grief memoir, this is a celebration of life, despite its reversals. Natalie's hard-won lessons, delivered with poignancy and wit, remind us that whatever the circumstances we face in life, there is a warrior in all of us with the strength to persevere. A raw, unputdownable and utterly absorbing story, SIGNS OF LIFE is a powerful coming of age tale about grieving and growing up that will have you laughing and crying to the very last page.
