Newly Released Book, A Widow's Tale by Dina Bar-Tov Tells it Like it is When Having to Confront Tragedy
When the respected Rabbi of a large synagogue in Rockland County, NY suddenly dies, his widow Dina Bar-Tov, is left at the mercy of the congregation, family and friends. While Dina puts on a strong face for her family, she is crumbling on the inside, trying to figure out how to live life without a husband, money and a clear path. The tragedy, humor and honest vitality with which author Dina Bar-Tov recounts the details of her life will give readers insights into the struggles that many single mothers go through - except that most single mothers don't have nine young children in tow. What does it mean to be a widow suddenly? How does a woman deal with the abrupt end of a marriage filled with love and support? When do you begin to look for a new husband? What man can give you the same love of your past and strength for your future? With only her memories to hold on to, Dina must start building a Plan B life in order to make sure her children are content and food is on the table. Meanwhile, she begins to question her friendships, re-examine her community and try her hand at speed dating. Her journey from matchmaker to matchmaker, raising her children on her own and soul searching, tell the story of the unexpected tragedies no one wants to face while offering strength and inspiration everyone will appreciate.
