This is a story of premature death and emotional wreckage that uses the narrator's old house as its foundation. Grief is as palpable as a hammer hitting a nail and doesn't come at all the way a reader might expect as the narrator methodically cares for her quirky old farmhouse's many needs following her husband's sudden death: a leaky roof, rotten windows, mold and frozen pumps and pipes. The narrator repeatedly tries and fails to order grief into a linear process with five distinct stages, but instead finds grief to be as disorganized and messy as the garage and sheds full of tools left by her deceased husband. 600 14 $a Huehn, Susan. 650 0 $a Widows $v Biography. 650 0 $a Grief $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women $v Biography. 650 0 $a Dwellings $x Maintenance and repair $v Biography. 650 6 $a Veuves $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 $v Biographies. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 650 6 $a Chagrin $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 $v Biographies. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 650 6 $a Femmes $v Biographies. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0380795 650 6 $a Habitations $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 $x Entretien et reÌparations $0 (CaQQLa)201-0005687 $v Biographies. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240402011838.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240305043545.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BE0B6CD4C19D11EEA89D2B6520ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
