Trying to live your dreams is hard... In Educating a Widow my heroine loved learning new things, especially in a classroom. She'd had every intention of completing her degree and was enjoying college. However she'd suddenly quit in her junior year when a very handsome fellow promised he would love and take care of her and their family. But foolish girl that she was, she didn't realize what raising a family meant. When the five children came, one after the other, he did take care of them all. However while she had pictured exciting challenges after college, she now had diapers, dishes and discipline. Fran truly loved their family, especially Alan. He was a great husband and she gladly raised their five children while helping him with his business. However, she found herself complaining. Many of her outbursts were to anyone who would listen.

Then, unbelievably, she became a widow What now? In spite of all her years of dreaming she found she really wasn't prepared to fulfill them alone. Never in her wildest thoughts had Fran pictured herself in this situation. Sadly she remembered her many outbursts and complaints through the years and felt embarrassed.
