Sunny and her widowed friends challenge themselves to conquer their feelings and live life again - they will give you hope and the courage to conquer your storm!”

"I admire Sunny for writing this poignant, heartfelt book. Losing a loved one...well, sometimes there are no words, only tears to describe the pain. Reading this book brought back memories (and many tears) and I am so glad they did. You don't have to be a widower to understand the grief. I've lost loved ones who should still be here, and I'm glad to have all those feelings brought back to the forefront of my mind. The pain, the memories. They are to be cherished. Thank you, Sunny, for sharing your story."New List Item
