A Widow for One Year by John Irving follows the life of Ruth Cole through three pivotal periods, beginning with her four-year-old self in 1958. The story details the traumatic events of her childhood, including the death of her two older brothers and her mother's subsequent abandonment, which were orchestrated by her author father and his young assistant, Eddie. The narrative then jumps to 1990, when Ruth is a successful but unmarried writer who is still struggling with her past, and concludes in 1995 when she is a widow and mother beginning to find love and understanding.
