Title: Common Threads
Description: "When her husband died suddenly in Hawaii, Diane Kaimann began a journey that devastated and redefined her. Beginning with the fragile strands of her own saga, Kaimann spins the stories of eight other women who faced their husbands' illnesses, deaths, and the aftermaths, and found their own ways to move forward. Grasping the tattered threads of her life, the author weaves the tales of new widowhood, blending the filaments together into a durable and beautiful, whole cloth." "The women described within the chapters of Common Threads are ordinary yet extraordinary. These are the tales of women who have faced one of life's greatest challenges and work day-in and day-out to design new lives for themselves. As readers witness the resilience of the human spirit, they come to a new perspective on their own experiences, recognizing all the good still in their lives. Common Threads is a tender and warm embrace. These are the stories of faith and love, of insight, determination, independence, and strength. These women's large and small victories are metaphors for hope and continuity."--BOOK JACKET.
