Gloria's husband is buried in England nine years to the day after her father's suicide in America. How can she go on living? But she must, if not for herself, then for their young son, who deserves a proper mother, not one destroyed by grief. This incredibly moving, uplifting and beautifully written love story is an astonishingly sensitive novel about the anger and despair of life after death.
Jenn Crowell completed her last year of high school while simultaneously doing her first year of university. She lives in Pennsylvania and attends university in Maryland. She was seventeen years old when she wrote her first novel, NECESSARY MADNESS.

After eight years of marriage Gloria Burgess's beloved husband Bill, a painter, succumbs to leukaemia, leaving Gloria with a son to raise alone in an adopted England. The madness of grief is a constant, overwhelming temptation she must withstand, for her child's sake if not her own. To accomplish this Gloria looks back over her childhood in America and the lessons she can learn from the past. Between her father's clinging, drowning despair and her mother's emotional abandonment there is a balance that she struggles to find. And meanwhile life goes inexorably on, in spite of Gloria's anguish. There must be ways to reinvent herself, to find happiness again, and to bring peace back to the tumult of her world.
