Dear Reader,
I hope you enjoy the “Merry Widows” trilogy.
Despite the problems that bring two cousins and their friend to live together in one house, each confesses to finding more joy in her widowed state than grief, for each woman carries a secret sorrow as a legacy of her marriage. Mary, as you have seen, was desperate to disprove a taunting curse, Catherine seeks the one thing denied her, then sacrifices it, and Sarah—she hides the blackest secret of them all.
As a year of mourning passes, the music and the laughter from their home brings the townspeople of Hillsboro, New Mexico Territory, to dub them the merry widows.
I hope you will come to care as deeply as I do about the widows and their courage in risking all for happiness.
