"WIDOW WOMAN is sweeping drama which follows these two people through trial and tribulation.  Some of the heart-wrenching scenes will make you squirm, and you have to remind yourself, "it isn't real!"  ... Tears, laughter, joy and heartache are treasures from an author to the reader, and Patricia McLinn is generous with her gifts." --Kat Bragg, CompuServe Romance Reviews
