Malden, Carla. (2011). Afterimage: A Brokenhearted Memoir of a Charmed Life. Globe Pequot Pr 2011.
Kirkus Reviews
A searing account of how the author coped with her husband's year-long struggle with colon cancer and his untimely death. Emotionally raw from start to finish, the story makes for admittedly difficult reading. What saves it from sinking into pure melodrama are its fleeting moments of humor and the fact that it also celebrates a rare and profound love that transcended death. A brutally candid memoir of the "all-consuming and profoundly uncomplicated" power of grief.
