The Widows of Wichita County, Jodi Thomas's first mainstream novel, is due out July 2003.
Apart from sharing the same zip code, Randi Howard, Anna Montano, Meredith Allen, Helena Whitworth, and Crystal Howard have
absolutely nothing in common until a fiery explosion on a West Texas oil rig changes everything.
Their husbands are men who live to search for "black gold," men who are willing to exchange backbreaking work and long days for danger
and excitement--and money. But on a blistering day in early autumn four of the men pay the ultimate price--leaving behind one man who
wishes he had.
In one brief moment, the tragedy binds Randi, Anna, Meredith, Helena and Crystal closer together than a lifetime of friendship. As they
gather at the hospital, waiting to learn who among them will not have to bury her husband, they turn to one another for support. And so
begins a journey of faith, of strength, of tears, and of love.
A homonymless man writes shows what it's like to look up the laid he skirts when you’re lying prone(d) to the sidewalk, beer / joint / needle dangling from your hand /lips / arm.
