About the Book
For Audrey Randolph, a young Midwestern wife and the main character in Widow Woman, by Minnesota author Julia Tagliere, 1962 brings personal tragedy: her mother dies suddenly, leaving behind a lifetime of letters, photos, and unimaginable revelations of past loves and lovers.
Audrey must overcome dual shocks, both her mother's death as well as the unanswered, haunting question: Was anything she knew real?
Tagliere’s debut novel delivers a sensitive, compelling, and timely exploration of the true nature of love, in all its incarnations—and the lengths to which we will go to hold onto it.

- “ 'Widow Woman' is an amazing novel that pulls real-life experience, perceived history and future consequences into one thought-provoking story of loss, love and learning to move ahead despite the questions that plague us after someone leaves us. The story draws you in and keeps you turning the page until the very end. And the writing is absolutely superb and rich with description, dialogue and a plot that leaves you thinking about 'Widow Woman' long after you've finished reading it. ” - Kristen Brown
- “Julia Tagliere is a master at expressing deep emotion. Each character in Widow Woman harbors secrets that must come out - and they do, in breathtaking honesty, compassion, anger and love. This book is a one-sitting read. I couldn't quit reading until I knew all the answers. I highly recommend it.[...] ” - Marylin E. Slagel
- “Widow Woman is full of poetic prose and creative imagery. I stopped to reread several sentences, simply to savor. Widow Woman is an engaging read, an examination of forgiveness, fear of losing love, fear of public reaction and more. Timely with the issues it deals with, this is a satisfying read that doesn't shy away from the "big" topics, but in a real and human way. [...]” - Katja Rowell M.D.
- “Julia Tagliere takes us with her character, Audrey, as she explores the true meaning of love. We may not always believe in Audrey's view, but we like her and want her to find her way. Although the story revolves around death it is an uplifting and thought provoking glimpse into one woman's challenge with accepting and acknowleging love in many forms. Along with taking many unexpected sharp turns it leads us down a path of understanding what love is all about. Congratulations to Julia for a first novel well done. ” - Kathi Holmes
