But when your husband dies suddenly, on a glorious sunny day when all he did was go to work, it takes more than the passage of time to get you through. It takes the love and support of women who are exactly where you are -- and when you're lucky enough to find them, you cling to each other until you're strong enough to stand on your own. The truths you discover in the process are universal, compelling, and altogether inspiring. <P>That was the lesson learned by Pattie Carrington, Julia Collins, Claudia Gerbasi, and Ann Haynes, four thirty-something women whose husbands worked at the World Trade Center. Before September 11, 2001, they didn't know each other, but in the months following that horrible day they came together, drawn as much by their diverse backgrounds as their shared tragedy. At their very first meeting, the foursome realized their bond was too special to ignore, and in no time their Widows' Club had cemented into a source of hope and, soon, love that saw them through their darkest hours, and forward. They took to signing off emails and phone conversations with a lighthearted phrase: Love You, Mean It. "Feeling this love for one another meant our hearts were beginning to open again. It was a risk -- love brought with it the ever-present possibility of loss. But this was a risk worth taking. More than ever, we understood how important it was to put love at the center of our lives." <P>A celebration of friendship, optimism, and empathy, <I>Love You, Mean It</I> is a shared memoir of rebuilt lives. It will offer hope to anyone who has suffered a loss, and exhilarate readers from coast to coast. 240229 5 9 2006 Love You, Mean It: A True Story of Love, Loss, and Friendship total:110|5:51|4:36|3:18|2:4|1:1| 110 462 200 39 5 4 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sun Aug 12 17:36:41 -0700 2007 Tue Feb 19 15:50:04 -0800 2008 5 2 false false Wed Nov 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Sun Aug 19 22:01:08 -0700 2007 Sun Aug 19 23:25:49 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 2 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sat Jun 23 04:39:41 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 01 18:03:53 -0700 2007 4 1 false false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Tue Dec 11 19:33:16 -0800 2007 Mon Dec 31 07:41:45 -0800 2007 more...]]> 5 1 true false Thu Jun 05 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Jan 06 15:28:23 -0800 2008 Thu Jun 05 11:28:12 -0700 2008 Amazon.com Grace's "Love You, Mean It" Review
