Watchung Booksellers Author Event - Jill Smolowe, "Four Funerals and a Wedding: Resilience in a Time of Grief"

Please join us at Watchung Booksellers for this exciting event featuring Jill Smolowe, author of Four Funerals and a Wedding!

In Four Funerals and a Wedding, Smolowe jostles preconceptions about caregiving, defies cliches about losing loved ones, and reveals a stunning bottom line -- far from being uncommon, resilience like hers is the norm among the recently bereaved. With humor and quiet wisdom, and with a lens firmly trained on what helped her tolerate and rebound from so much sorrow, she offers answer to questions we all confront in the face of loss, and reminds us that grief is not only about endings -- it's about new beginnings.

Jill Smolowe is the author of the memoir An Empty Lap: One Couple's Journey to Parenthood. She is an award-winning journalist who has written for Time, Newsweek, and People, where she currently specializes in crime stories. She lives in New Jersey.
