My Wife Said You May Want to Marry Me: A Memoir

The widower of children’s book author Amy Krause Rosenthal shares a “gut-wrenching, honest, and uplifting memoir” of love, loss, and new beginnings (Booklist).

In 2017, Amy Krouse Rosenthal penned an op-ed piece for the New York Times’ “Modern Love” column titled ”You May Want to Marry My Husband.” It appeared ten days before her death from ovarian cancer. In a heartbreaking play on a personal ad, she encouraged her husband to find happiness after her demise.

In My Wife Said You May Want to Marry Me, Jason describes what came next: his commitment to respecting Amy’s wish, even as he struggled with her loss. Surveying his life before, with, and after Amy, Jason contemplates love, the pain of watching a loved one suffer, and what it means for him and their three children to heal.

My Wife Said You May Want to Marry Me is the poignant, unreserved, and inspiring story of a great love, the aftermath of a marriage ended too soon, and how a surviving partner eventually found a new perspective on life’s joys in the wake of tremendous loss.
