The Odd One In

Love, Loss, Ghosts, and Laughter

De: Tamara Crain

Narrado por: Scott LeCote

What do you do when the love of your life had a love before you?

Marrying a widow or widower means stepping into a story that started before you arrived — complete with old traditions, shared jokes, and friendships where a ghost is always in the room. It’s tender. It’s awkward. It’s real.

With warmth, humor, and research-backed insight, The Odd One In shows you how to:

• Navigate invisible grief and feeling like an outsider
• Balance honoring the past with building your future
• Handle family, friendships, and milestones with grace (and laughter)
• Use humor and even a hidden chocolate stash to survive the tough days

This isn’t a book about endings. It’s a book about beginnings.

If you’ve ever felt like the odd one in, you’ll find wisdom, laughter, and hope waiting in this book.

Great Book

I finished this during my morning commute. It’s packed with honest advice about the ghosts in the room. The narrator’s voice is very calming and the humor is perfect.

Very Helpful

Being the second wife is lonely sometimes. This book made me feel seen. It’s practical, kind, and doesn’t shy away from the awkward parts of blending a grieving family.

Highly Recommended

This was so relatable. I’ve struggled with feeling like an intruder in my own home, but this gave me the words to explain my feelings and move forward peacefully.
