Reviews by Readers:
 
Having lived through the death of a spouse, I wish Susan Mendenhall's book, "Finding Jane Tremont", had been available for me. I find myself in the position of encouraging friends going through such a time. I will be keeping a copy on hand to pass on to other women, who after dealing with the first difficult days, start deciding with what to do with the rest of their lives. Each chapter in this book rings true to my experience of how to forge a way forward. The author has captured the journey in such an authentic way.
 
Finding Jane Tremont is a heartwarming and inspiring story that brought a big smile to my face and encouragement to seek out the good life.
 
Susan Eaton Mendenhall offers a gentle look at aging and dealing with the loss of a partner. In keeping with the principle 'begin where you are', Jane reevaluates everyday aspects of her life: schedule, activities, furniture placement, food, and exercise.  She resolves to make small, meaningful changes in her life and we follow along as she sees the results.
 
Loss in the many ways it can occur is part of the human experience.  This story is the experience of Jane Tremont at the age of 83 who is facing the heart-breaking loss of her husband, Ben. As she is confronted with the realities of being a widow, she seeks to find who she will become moving forward in life. Jane's story many allow the reader to examine a personal loss of some type and be encouraged to also see loss as an opportunity for growth.
 
A delightful quick read that all women can relate to.
