KND Quality 99-Centers: Biography & Memoir

July 21, 2011
By
Powered by our magical Kindle free book tool, here are this morning's latest additions to our 99-cent Kindle Book listings...
But first, a word from ... Today's Sponsor
Here's the set-up:
Welcome To My World. Doing All Those Things I Thought I’d Never Do Again. The Unfaithful Widow is a collection of essays and fragmented thoughts on finding joy again after the loss of a mate. A memoir of the first year alone written with warmth and laughter, no subject is taboo. From dealing with the funeral home (Can I show your our upgraded cremation package? I looked at Miss Death, was I booking a vacation?) to dating again (He ran in the door, looked at me and said “I’ve left something in my car.” He never returned). Sprinkle in a bevy of rescue dogs (Finally a good nights sleep with someone new in my bed.) and those questions you hate to ask (Condoms anyone?). A story for anyone who has suffered loss and is determined to become their own super hero.
Each day’s list is sponsored by one paid title. We encourage you to support our sponsors and thank you for considering them.
