Setting aside a straightforward narrative in favor of brief passages of vivid prose, Abigail Thomas revisits the pivotal moments and the tiny incidents that have shaped her life: pregnancy at 18; single motherhood (of three ) by the age of 26; the joys and frustrations of three marriages; and the death of her second husband, who was her best friend. The stories made of these incidents are startling in their clarity and reassuring in their wisdom. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This is a book in which silence speaks as eloquently as what is revealed. Openhearted and effortlessly funny, these brilliantly selected glimpses of the arc of a life are, in an age of excessive confession and recrimination, a welcome tonic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbigail Thomas is the author of the novel \u003cb\u003eAn Actual Life\u003c\/b\u003e and the story collections \u003cb\u003eGetting Over Tom\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eHerb's Pajamas\u003c\/b\u003e.
