Widows are suppose to be women who are old and gray, not people in the prime of their lives. "Widows Wear Stilettos: A Practical and Emotional Guide for The Young Widow" is a self-help guide for those who have been widowed at a young age. With the recent conflicts in the Middle East, there has been a rise in young widows in recent years. When separated so early, these men and women face a special challenge, unsure of how to move on and live the long duration of the rest of their lives. "Widows Wear Stilettos" is a must for anyone who has faced the tragedy of losing a spouse before they've become middle aged.

As a young 25 yr old widow, I highly recommend this book. While some may not be able to handle some of the humor early on in their grief process, it does provide a more realistic approach to widowhood for those under 60. There were several chapters in the book filled with information that I wish I knew when I first became widowed. The chapter about the paperwork was one that widows should know about. It is very overwhelming dealing with the paperwork and companies will take advantage of you during this time. Overall, I would recommend this book to a young widow.

I am a young 34 year old widow. This book helped answer some of those not mentioned questions in other books. Very helpful, written beautifully and would recommend this book to any unforunate widow out there.
By Franda Black
On reading this book, I found the content to be very inspirational and uplifting, with the author taking on a subject that can be very distressing, especially to a recent widow. This book also covers topics like financial advice, dating, children and health where other bereavement books fail. The author also inserts a little humor into a serious subject, using her own tragedies and heartache to inspire others to go forward in life, which is very refreshing. The title of the book 'Widows Wear Stilettos, portrays an attitude of 'mind', not a fashion statement. I highly recommend this book to widows of ALL ages, it is a vital, informative read.

Obviously, by it's title alone, it's clear this is a book for girls only... While I commend what she is attempting to do with this book the honor of her endeavor becomes a bit lost in the many references to herself as a "Diva Goddess" and the repeated mention of 4 inch heels, both of which pushed me not toward endearment, but quite the contrary (I spent quite a bit of time mentally rolling my eyes).
The good: Chapters such as "The Firsts, Part 1, which deals with those firsts we all have to face from birthdays and holidays, to anniversaries, etc., "The Firsts, Part 2, which largely deals with the issue of the first date/love interest/serious relationship, etc. in a serious manner, and "When Both Mommy & Daddy Are You" which discusses exactly what it's title denotes. She has a good amount of advice on dealing with whom she refers to as "Everybody Else", which I found to be pretty on point. However, contrary to what is written in the publishers description, the issue of in-laws, which can be a major point of topic among many young widows (from how to deal with them without a peacemaker, to how to tell them you're dating) is a tiny blip on her Manolo hoofed radar.
Bottom line, if you are looking for a quick read (you could do this on a long flight, or long Sunday afternoon) and you are not new to grief, you might want to consider picking this up. I would not personally recommend this book for the newly bereaved however. Of course, if you know of a newly bereaved young widow you'd like to share the book with, you could always mark out the relevant chapters for her in her early stages of grief, and suggest she read the rest when she was ready.
