Widow Veronica has not been intimate with anyone since her husband died years ago.  Feeling loneliness down to her bones, Veronica decides to join her friends as a competitor in the local bowling tournament.  Entering the partners contest, Veronica is anxious but hopeful that her partner be an attractive enough man that she could while away a few hours in bed with.  Easier said than done.  Veronica’s tournament partner is a woman and she is attracted to her.  Afraid and a bit dismayed, Veronica doesn’t know what to do.  She only knows that it is time to live again and decides to shed the old Veronica and begin anew.

When I first asked to review Widow Weeds, I was uninformed of its genre.  Happily, I opened the book and began to read.  Realizing what this book was about, I closed it.  Unable to stand the suspense, I opened it again and continued to read even though every button I have in my reviewer body was being pushed.  I can read man love all day every day; woman love?  Not so much.  However, because Widow Weeds was written by Beth Williamson, I continued and I am glad that I did.  So much so that I forgot about the genre, I forgot about the girl love and I concentrated on the story.   What a wonderful tale this turned out to be. 

As usual, Beth Williamson delivered a powerful, emotional story.  Her ability to bring to life characters and storylines that a reader might not usually read often leaves me speechless.  A novel like Widow Weeds is one of the many reasons she is an auto-buy for me.
