Elizabeth: Widows of Blessings Valley, an American historical inspirational romance series (Book 1):
Two people scarred by life. She carries the scars on her heart. He carries the scars on his body. Can they find peace, healing, and love together? A mining accident has killed several miners in Blessings Valley. Some of the widows are struggling through their grief to answer a widow's question. With Wilhelmina "Willa" Alexander's guidance, they just might each learn to live again.
**Webster defines grief as "emotional suffering caused by as if by bereavement" and a widow as a "woman who has lost her husband to death and has not married again." If these definitions were as simple as they sound. To the Widows of Blessings Valley, these two words mean so much more. They mean living their lives without the one they gave their hearts and souls to. The one they vowed to love forever. It means crying themselves to sleep at night. It means trying to go on in a new life without knowing how. It means knowing no matter how much they try to heal they never really completely do. No matter how much they think they'll never love again, they will, but differently.
