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!)

The lore is strong with Vera, and you won't want to miss her story. Although a variety of entertaining topics from Siegfried and Roy to camel milk may have been discussed, this naturpathic doctor who joined the widow ranks has much to impart. Vera explains what and how pharmacogenetic testing is and can do, how to baby step through the first horrific times of fresh widowhood, and why you should think twice about owning half-wild animals.
