Seven Little Words: A Memoir of Love, Loss and Resilience (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798854414579)

Thirty-five years after a divorce from her high school sweetheart, she receives a call that her ex-husband had been in a devastating car accident. Who would care for him? What would happen to him? Why was this her responsibility?

One difficult decision would alter the next two years of her life, but more importantly, make her revisit many painful memories of the past.

Maureen Anthony brings us on an intimate journey that many have traveled but few have talked about. In 1981, married and pregnant, her husband uttered seven little words that became a wrecking ball on her life. Her pain is sometimes visceral as she navigates denial, divorce, death, and single parenting. It is a sometimes funny and often heartbreaking account of what sexual confusion, lack of authenticity and finally admitting you're gay, does to marriage and families.

In becoming entrenched in Paul's life once again, she realizes not all wounds had been resolved. It is a story of love, loss, betrayal and in the end, healing.

She shows hard times elude no one, but they don't have to define you. You can come out on the other side.

Woven throughout is the powerful value of family, faith and friends but ultimately her own strength and resilience.
