"An extraordinarily powerful account of hardship and healing by a woman whose husband, a top executive at Cantor Fitzgerald, was killed in the attacks on the World Trade Center, and her unexpected journey to find love again.Lucky&#8212;that&#8217;s how Jennifer would describe herself. She had a successful law career, met the love of her life in Doug, married him, had an apartment in New York City, a house in the Hamptons, two beautiful children, and was still madly in love after nearly seven years of marriage. Jennifer was living the kind of idyllic life that clich&#233;s are made of.  Until Doug was killed in the attacks on the World Trade Center, and she became a widow at age thirty-five&#8212;a &#8220;9/11 widow,&#8221; no less, a member of a select group bound by sorrow, of which she wanted no part. Though completely devastated, Jennifer still considered herself blessed. Doug had loved her enough to last her a lifetime, and after his sudden death, she was done with the idea of romantic love&#8212;fully resigned to being a widowed single mother . . . until a chance encounter with a gregarious stranger changed everything. Without a clue how to handle this unexpected turn of events, Jennifer faced the question asked by anyone who has ever lost a loved one: Is it really possible to feel joy again, let alone love?  With unvarnished emotion and clear-eyed sardonic humor, Jennifer tells an ordinary woman&#8217;s extraordinary tale of unimaginable loss, resilience, friendship, love, and healing&#8212;which is also New York City&#8217;s narrative in the wake of September 11. Where You Left Me is an unlikely love story, a quintessentially New York story&#8212;at once Jennifer&#8217;s tribute to the city that gave her everything and proof that second chances are possible."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
