Sara Sousa

The Woodstove Widow Sara Sousa

In her memoir, Sara writes, "Cancer just is. Those rapidly dividing cells are doing the only thing they know how to do. It is our calling, our gift and our burden to try and understand those cells and, when willing and able, to prevent them from consuming our bodies and our spirits." A story as simple as some misfiring cells, as ordinary and extraordinary as one man and one family, the Woodstove Widow carries you tenderly and fiercely through the entirety of what it means to live and to love, to fight and to fear, to find each other and moments of beauty again and again. Through Sara's skillful and unflinching voice, from inside the mouth of the lion, Greg's boundless heart and equally boundless spirit shine, as do her own.
