From iconic leader Bozoma Saint John comes a memoir of grief and one woman's drive to thrive in the face of loss
When Bozoma Saint John's husband, Peter Saint John, died of cancer, she made one big decision: to live life with urgency. Saint John was no stranger to adversity, having fielded her father's disapproval of her marriage to Peter, navigated an interracial relationship, grieved a stillborn child--a process that led to her and Peter's separation--and maneuvered coparenting the daughter whom she and Peter shared. When Peter knew his cancer was terminal, he gave Bozoma a short list of things to do: cancel the divorce and call up their family and friends. In The Urgent Life, Saint John takes readers through the dizzying, numbing days of that initial grief, and the courage that it sparked in her to live life in accordance with her deepest values. We witness Saint John's journey forward through this grief as she navigates life as a single parent and builds a truly remarkable career. Saint John's story is extraordinary, but her grief is not uncommon, and her courage is sure to touch any reader who has loved, mourned, and found a path through loss and grief, as well as anyone who's struggled to live life to its fullest.
