Join us for the release of The Fifth Chamber, the new memoir by Anne Gudger. Annie is pregnant with her first child and married to the love of her life. Then, one fateful night, her husband dies in an accident and Annie is left alone. Now she must navigate the trials of single motherhood, mourning, and learning to love again. Crafted with lightning bolts of joy and sorrow, The Fifth Chamber is a tender and honest memoir about the dance of loss and life, and how grief can make the heart beat stronger than ever before.
