Synopsis

I spent my 11th wedding anniversary planning my husband's funeral. If I could just figure out how to make that rhyme, it would be the beginning of a great country song.

Involuntarily single. That's the true story of where Catherine Tidd finds herself just three weeks after turning thirty-one. Widowed with three children under six years old, a rusty resume, no fix-it skills, and no clue how to live life as a widow, Catherine can't help but be a little exasperated with her dead husband for leaving her to deal with life on her own.

Catherine's now in charge of her life in a way she never wanted to be, in a way that would have most of us reeling and numb. But she soon realizes that when you call the shots, you can make pedicures one of the stages of grief—and that moving forward might be more fun in a new sports car. Her honest Confessions of a Mediocre Widow is a glimpse into the heartbreaking and sometimes humorous world of a young woman who learns that it is possible to find joy in an unexpected life.

Goodreads review by Susan

I am reviewing an ARC copy of Confessions of a Mediocre Widow. I started reading and couldn’t put it down. There is something so comforting about reading a story that you can connect to. Being a young widow with children I felt at parts like I was reading my own story. Catherine’s writing is so easy......more

I have known Catherine Tidd for about nine years, since our daughters were in kindergarten together. I am constantly amazed by her grace and poise as she moves through what would have crushed so many. She has taken the lemons, made lemon aide and then used the seeds to start an orchard. I am sure a v......more
