"On May 21, 2007, 21-year-old Taryn Davis lost her husband, Michael, to a roadside bomb in Baghdad, Iraq. Feeling lost and alone in the new life she'd been thrown into, she began traveling around the country to hear six other stories of love, tragedy—and survival. She took this journey “because I knew that there would be other women in my shoes who would want to hear it.” The American Widow Project is not only about those who made the ultimate sacrifice but also those left behind to carry on their legacy."
