{"product_id":"should-i-still-wish-a-memoir-9780803295223","title":"Should I Still Wish: A Memoir","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this candid and moving memoir, John W. Evans articulates the complicated joys of falling in love again as a young widower. Though heartbroken after his wife's violent death, Evans realizes that he cannot remain inconsolable and adrift, living with his in-laws in Indiana. Motivated by a small red X on a map, Evans musters the courage for a cross-country trip. From the Badlands to Yellowstone to the foothills of the Sierra Mountains, Evans's hope and determination propel him even as he contemplates his vulnerability and the legacy of a terrible tragedy.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eShould I Still Wish\u003c\/em\u003e chronicles Evans's efforts to leave an intense year of grief behind, to make peace with the natural world again, and to reconnect with a woman who promises, like San Francisco itself, a life of abundance and charm. With unflinching honesty Evans plumbs the uncertainties, doubts, and contradictions of a paradoxical experience in this love story, celebration of fatherhood, meditation on the afterlife of grief and resilience, and, ultimately, showcase for life's many profound incongruities.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn W.
