Widow on Wheels: A Sea Wench’s Guide to the Galaxy (and Other Salty Tales from the Road)

Widow on Wheels is a deeply personal and moving account of loss, resilience, and the strength required to rebuild a life after profound change.

After the death of her husband, Denise Costa sets out on a 13,500-mile solo journey across the United States in a 22-foot Roadtrek. What begins as an escape becomes a powerful exploration of independence, grief, and rediscovery.

Through encounters with strangers, unexpected challenges, and moments of reflection, she navigates both the physical road ahead and the emotional terrain within. From deserts and coastlines to small towns and chance meetings, each chapter reveals the quiet courage required to move forward.

Honest, raw, and often humorous, Widow on Wheels is not just a story about travel—it is a story about transformation.

This book speaks to anyone who has faced loss, questioned their path, or found themselves starting over. It is a reminder that even after life’s most difficult chapters, there is still a road ahead.
