Leslie Gray Streeter is not cut out for widowhood. She's not ready
for hushed rooms and pitying looks. She is not ready to stand
graveside, dabbing her eyes in a classy black hat. If she had her
way she'd wear her favorite curve-hugging leopard print dress to
Scott's funeral; he loved her in that dress! But, here she is,
having lost her soulmate to a sudden heart attack, totally unsure
of how to navigate her new widow lifestyle. ("New widow lifestyle."
Sounds like something you'd find products for on daytime TV, like
comfy track suits and compression socks. Wait, is a widow even
allowed to make jokes?) Looking at widowhood through the prism of
race, mixed marriage, and aging, Black Widow redefines the stages
of grief, from coffin shopping to day-drinking, to being a
grown-ass woman crying for your mommy, to breaking up and making up
with God, to facing the fact that life goes on even after the death
of the person you were supposed to live it with. While she stumbles
toward an uncertain future as a single mother raising a baby with
her own widowed mother (plot twist!), Leslie looks back on her love
story with Scott, recounting their journey through racism,
religious differences, and persistent confusion about what kugel
is. Will she find the strength to finish the most important thing
that she and Scott started? Tender, true, and endearingly
hilarious, Black Widow is a story about the power of love, and how
the only guide book for recovery is the one you write yourself.
