And, of course, one day it ended.” —\u003c\/i\u003eSharon Butala\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In the tradition of Joan Didion’s \u003ci\u003eThe Year of Magical Thinking\u003c\/i\u003e, Diana Athill’s \u003ci\u003eSomewhere Towards the End,\u003c\/i\u003e and Atul Gawande’s \u003ci\u003eBeing Mortal\u003c\/i\u003e comes a revelatory new book from one of our beloved writers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e When Sharon Butala’s husband, Peter, died unexpectedly, she found herself with no place to call home. Torn by grief and loss, she fled the ranchlands of southwest Saskatchewan and moved to the city, leaving almost everything behind. A lifetime of possessions was reduced to a few boxes of books, clothes, and keepsakes. But a lifetime of experience went with her, and a limitless well of memory—of personal failures, of a marriage that everybody said would not last but did, of the unbreakable bonds of family.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Reinventing herself in an urban landscape was painful, and facing her new life as a widow tested her very being. Yet out of this hard-won new existence comes an astonishingly frank, compassionate and moving memoir that offers not only solace and hope but inspiration to those who endure profound loss.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Often called one of this country’s true visionaries, Sharon Butala shares her insights into the grieving process and reveals the small triumphs and funny moments that kept her going. \u003ci\u003eWhere I Live Now\u003c\/i\u003e is profound in its understanding of the many homes women must build for themselves in a lifetime.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47174343196912,"sku":"9781476790503","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781476790503_p0.jpg?v=1763610743","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781476790503","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
