And when her worst fear is realized, she finds herself doubly cursed. She is overwhelmed by grief, and her property and rights are now legally in the hands of her nearest male relative: her daughter's overbearing husband, whom Lyddie cannot abide. Lyddie decides to challenge both law and custom for control of her destiny, but she soon discovers the price of her bold "war" for personal freedom to be heartbreakingly dear. </p> <p> Includes the fascinating "story behind the story" of <i>The Widow's War</i>, a map of colonial Brewster, and a driving tour of the village of Satucket. </p> 317959 2006 The Widow's War: A Novel total:373|5:80|4:171|3:99|2:23|1:0| 373 1427 609 122 327321 0060791586 9780060791582 344 109 3.83 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173777089m/327321.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/327321.The_Widow_s_War_A_Novel 5 2 false Wed Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Wed Aug 01 06:44:07 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 01 06:44:07 -0700 2007 more...]]> 327321 0060791586 9780060791582 344 109 3.83 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173777089m/327321.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/327321.The_Widow_s_War_A_Novel 5 1 false Wed Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Oct 19 10:17:55 -0700 2008 Sun Oct 19 10:21:22 -0700 2008 more...]]> 327321 0060791586 9780060791582 344 109 3.83 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173777089m/327321.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/327321.The_Widow_s_War_A_Novel 4 0 false Mon Mar 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 13 20:59:19 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 16 08:45:55 -0700 2009
