		<title>Virtual Book Tour: The Unfaithful Widow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Losing a loved one is one of the hardest things you will ever go through. Moving forward without them is even harder. We cope with loss in many different ways, but, as writers, we have a unique tool at our fingertips to help us deal with what we're feeling. And hopefully, with some editing and construction, we can help others who are experiencing the same thing--simply by putting words on the page. It's one of the best things about being a writer!]]></description>
