What Happened to Our Happily Ever After? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798991576109)

This is a story about a young woman who, at twenty-one years old, assumed she had it all. But, piece by piece, she lost it; the fantasy love story she had always dreamed of slowly but surely disappeared. Yet she managed to survive and thrive. Linda Conn Armento became a widow at the young age of 27 when her husband died of colon cancer. Having navigated these unknown and sorrow-filed waters, she now takes her wisdom and knowledge to a higher level, mentoring many other young widows/widowers and helping them through their journeys.

Linda's writing is graceful and hopeful and while her story is unique, those of us who have experienced the death of a loved one will relate. Grief doesn't follow an exact pattern and acceptance can take forever, yet, memoirs like this can assure us that we will live and perhaps be even better after tragedy.

Linda Conn Armento has demonstrated a unique ability to pull her readers back to a time and place in her life that set her and her loved ones on an unexpected path with an unknown future. As a result of her lifelong habit of detailed journaling and her exceptional memory, Linda takes her reading audience on an adventure few have experienced at such a young age. At the same time, her memoir offers life lessons learned along the way. This is a book that would surely be enjoyed by young and old alike, a memorable story about love, emotional strength, and most of all human resilience.
