Summary:
"An intimate and uplifting book about finding renewal and hope through grief and loss. 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. 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. Sharon Butala shares her insights into the grieving process and reveals the small triumphs and funny moments that kept her going. Where I Live Now is profound in its understanding of the many homes women must build for themselves in a lifetime. Sharon Butala was born in Nipawin, Saskatchewan. She is the author of the 1994 memoir The Perfection of the Morning : an Apprenticeship in Nature, and the 2000 memoir Wild Stone Heart : an Apprentice in the Fields. Her latest novel, Wild Rose, was published in 2015. She lives in Calgary, Alberta. Visit her at SharonButala.com"--Provided by publisher.
