Wonderfully lyrical and uncomfortably honest in a way that is so rare, yet so needed.JENNY LAWSON

Disturbing and profound, this intimate book also reveals the sometimes-labyrinthine nature of the bonds that unite people in love…A provocative and memorable work.Kirkus Reviews

After years of struggling in a tumultuous marriage, writer Rebecca Woolf was finally ready to leave her husband. Two weeks after telling him she wanted a divorce, he was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer. Four months later, at the age of forty-four, he died.

In All of This, Woolf chronicles the months before her husbands deathand her rebirth after he was gone. With rigorous honesty and incredible awareness, she reflects on the end of her marriage: how her husbands illness finally gave her the space to make peace with his humanity and her own.

Stunning, compelling, and brilliantly nuanced, All of This is one womans story of embracing the complexities of grief without shameas a mother, a widow, and a sexual beingand emerging on the other side of a relationship with gratitude and relief.
