The Dating Adventures of a Widow

The Dating Adventures of a Widow is a small collection of creative nonfiction and award winning short stories by Rita Berman, a freelance writer for more than 40 years. Widowed after a marriage of 34 years she was surprised to find herself dating more men than when she was single. The "Adventures" story offers both humor and advice. "The Polish Professor" is a family story that took place in London, England, after World War 2. "Something to Think About, Solitary Confinement, and In Sickness and In Health" are fiction. The poem, "The Beach", was created for a lecture about Gertrude Stein that she gave to members of Shared Learning of Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
