"Artis Henderson's remarkable memoir allows readers into the seldom-seen and unexpected world of the war widow. Henderson's eloquently rendered grief honors the soldiers lost and the resilient widows who carry on, all while she reassembles her life by pursuing a dream of writing."--Siobhan Fallon, author of You Know When the Men Are Gone
"Artis Henderson's extraordinary book takes its title from the dry, bureaucratic language of the military. But she invests that phrase with two kinds of soaring passion. One is the love story of herself and her husband Miles, opposites who attract with a chemistry that shimmers off the page. The other is the mourning story of her life after Miles's death and it is unsparing in its heartbreak. Together, the 'before' and 'after' of Henderson's life add up to an urgent act of witness, a saga of what the long wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have meant to that too-small portion of America that made and bore all the sacrifices."--Samuel G. Freedman, author of Breaking the Line and Who She Was
"Reading Unremarried Widow is like coming across an unexpectedly powerful monument in a cemetery--you stand there imagining someone else's story, and suddenly you realize that it's our story, that it connects us to something large and lasting, even as it separates us from an irreclaimable past."--Rhoda Janzen, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Mennonite in a Little Black Dress
"When I picked up Artis Henderson's brave, beautiful memoir about the death of her husband in Iraq, I expected to be devastated, and I was. Unremarried Widow is an unwavering look at young love and young loss, the physicality of grief, and what it means to be left behind. What I didn't expect was to be inspired. Henderson's story is also one of strength--the strength it takes to fall in love, to let it go, to follow your passion, to move on."--Molly Birnbaum, author of Season to Taste
"Unremarried Widow is a beautifully crafted memoir of uncommon candor and power. Everyone should read this book for what it says about our profound capacity for love, and to remind us all of just how much we ask of those who serve in harm's way--and of the loved ones they leave behind."--Will Schwalbe, New York Times bestselling author of The End of Your Life Book Club
"With unflinching openness, Artis Henderson allows us into a world not often explored from the poignant perspective of the unremarried widow. Her personal journey of loss and love is deeply affecting in its honesty and humanity, and her straightforward style is deceptively profound, effective long after the last page is read."--Marian Fontana, New York Times bestselling author of A Widow's Walk
"Artis Henderson's Unremarried Widow is as engrossing as a good novel, but the story it tells is true and raw. In giving us an intimate, complex glimpse into the culture of military wives, and in writing about charged subjects--war, grief, gender, and our sometimes conflicting allegiances--with honesty and without judgment, she makes us witness to matters that touch all of our lives, whether we dare to acknowledge them or not."--Leah Hager Cohen, author of The Grief of Others
"There are many wonderful memoirs lining the shelves of bookstores today, but how many of these true stories can be deemed so powerful as to move a reader to tears? Joan Didion's The Year of Magical Thinking is one that comes to mind, and, more recently, Wave, Sonali Deraniyagala's memoir of immense loss in the 2004 tsunami. Artis Henderson's stunning debut memoir, Unremarried Widow, is guaranteed to join the ranks of memoirs that will be talked about for years to come. . . . Truly unforgettable."--Minneapolis Star-Tribune
"A powerful look at mourning as a military wife. . . . You can finish it in a day and find yourself haunted weeks later."--New York Times Book Review (Editor's Choice)
"Artis Henderson makes her debut with this poignant, deeply felt memoir about the death of her young solider-husband."--ChristianScienceMonitor.com
Reseña del editor
“A frank, poignant memoir about an unlikely marriage, a tragic death in Iraq, and the soul-testing work of picking up the pieces” (People) in the tradition of such powerful bestsellers as Joan Didion’s The Year of Magical Thinking and Carole Radziwill’s What Remains.
Artis Henderson was a free-spirited young woman with dreams of traveling the world and one day becoming a writer. Marrying a conservative Texan soldier and becoming an Army wife was never part of her plan, but when she met Miles, Artis threw caution to the wind and moved with him to a series of Army bases in dusty Southern towns, far from the exotic future of her dreams. If this was true love, she was ready to embrace it.
But when Miles was training and Artis was left alone, she experienced feelings of isolation and anxiety. It did not take long for a wife’s worst fears to come true. On November 6, 2006, the Apache helicopter carrying Miles crashed in Iraq, leaving twenty-six-year-old Artis—in official military terms—an “unremarried widow.”
In this memoir Artis recounts not only the unlikely love story she shared with Miles and her unfathomable recovery in the wake of his death—from the dark hours following the military notification to the first fumbling attempts at new love—but also reveals how Miles’s death mirrored her own father’s, in a plane crash that Artis survived when she was five years old and that left her own mother a young widow. Unremarried Widow is “a powerful look at mourning as a military wife....You can finish it in a day and find yourself haunted weeks later” (The New York Times Book Review).
