Learning to Be a Widow: 
Stories of Love, Loss, and Lessons Learned Along the Way

This book, written after the death of Gwen Romagnoli's beloved husband, Franco, is a collection of essays written to explore her new life situation, and grieve his loss. Some of the essays were previously published in the Boston Globe. Others are new, written for this collection.

Gwen has written numerous personal essays as well as travel and food articles for not only the Boston Globe, but also the Los Angeles Times, and the American Express Magazine.

Together, she and Franco wrote Italy, the Romagnoli Way: A Culinary Journey, about lesser-known places in Italy.
