Does Costco stock future husbands? In the case of Erica Hansen, the answer is yes! Erica is a native of Salt Lake City, Utah, loves musical theater, singing, and Patsy Cline....but she does not love that she lost her amazing husband a year and a half after they were married. She also does not love that she was diagnosed with breast cancer after she became a widow. But even though she's been living in the worst of it, she shares her message of hope and light in her new book (with featured original songs!)
