Twentysomething Kate Davis can't seem to get this grieving-widow thing right. She's supposed to put on a brave face and get on with her  life, right? Instead she's camped out on her living room floor, unwashed,  unkempt, and unable to sleep-because her husband Kevin keeps talking to her.Is she losing her mind?Kate's  attempts to find the source of the voice she hears are both humorous and  humiliating, as she turns first to an "eclectically spiritual" counselor, then  a shrink with a bad toupee, a mean-spirited exorcist, and finally group therapy.  There she meets Jack, the warmhearted, unconventional pastor of a ramshackle  church, and at last the voice subsides. But when she stumbles upon a secret  Kevin was keeping, Kate's fragile hold on the present threatens to implode  under the weight of the past . . . and Kevin begins to shout.Will the  voice ever stop? Kate must confront her grief to find the grace to go on, in  this tender, quirky story about second chances.
