EvansLincoln :University of Nebraska Press,[2017]©20171 online resource (156 pages)American lives0-8032-9522-7 "In this candid and moving memoir, John W. Evans articulates the complicated joys of falling in love again as a young widower. Though heartbroken after his wife's violent death, Evans realizes that he cannot remain inconsolable and adrift, living with his in-laws in Indiana. Motivated by a small red X on a map, Evans musters the courage for a cross-country trip. From the Badlands to Yellowstone to the foothills of the Sierra Mountains, Evans's hope and determination propel him even as he contemplates his vulnerability and the legacy of a terrible tragedy. Should I Still Wish chronicles Evans's efforts to leave an intense year of grief behind, to make peace with the natural world again, and to reconnect with a woman who promises, like San Francisco itself, a life of abundance and charm. With unflinching honesty Evans plumbs the uncertainties, doubts, and contradictions of a paradoxical experience in this love story, celebration of fatherhood, meditation on the afterlife of grief and resilience, and, ultimately, showcase for life's many profound incongruities"--Provided by publisher.American lives.WidowersUnited StatesBiographyWivesDeathPsychological aspectsLoss (Psychology)Adjustment (Psychology)Man-woman relationshipsRemarriageWidowersWivesDeathPsychological aspects.Loss (Psychology)Adjustment (Psychology)Man-woman relationships.Remarriage.155.2/4BIO026000bisacshEvans John W(John William),1977-1160668MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910150217603321Should I still wish2895307UNINA
