520    In this novel the author explores how a middle-aged man, 
       ripped apart by the death of his wife, is gradually 
       restored by her frequent appearances in their house, on 
       the roadway, in the markets. Only Dorothy's unexpected 
       appearances from the dead help him to live in the moment 
       and to find some peace.  Crippled in his right arm and leg,
       Aaron has spent his childhood fending off a sister who 
       wants to manage him. So when he meets Dorothy, a plain, 
       outspoken, independent young woman, she is like a breath 
       of fresh air. Unhesitatingly, he marries her, and they 
       have a relatively happy, unremarkable marriage. But when a
       tree crashes into their house and Dorothy is killed, Aaron
       feels as though he has been erased forever. Only Dorothy's
       unexpected appearances from the dead help him to live in 
       the moment and to find some peace. Gradually he discovers,
       as he works in the family's vanity publishing business, 
       turning out titles that presume to guide beginners through
       the trials of life, that maybe for this beginner there is 
       a way of saying goodbye. This book is a subtle exploration
       of loss and recovery, pierced throughout with the author's
       humor, wisdom, and always penetrating look at human 
       foibles.
