Evelyn Widham’s “Gathering the Pieces” to be Showcased at a Book Festival at Printers Row, Chicago

The self-publishing and book marketing company ReadersMagnet will exhibit “Gathering the Pieces: An Adolescent’s Guide on Grief and Reflection” by author Evelyn Widham at a book festival at Printers Row, Chicago. This event will take place along South Dearborn Street, from Ida B. Wells Drive to Polk Street, on September 12-13, 2026.

“Gathering the Pieces: An Adolescent’s Guide on Grief and Reflection” is a gentle guide for teens and adults learning to cope with loss. It offers a practical, step-by-step approach to building resilience, hope, and peace. Through moving stories and calm, reassuring advice, the book helps readers understand the nature of grief, why it feels overwhelming, and how to gently move forward without denying their feelings. Rather than asking them to forget what they have lost, it supports them in carrying their grief differently, until a sense of wholeness becomes possible again.

Readers will find short, meaningful chapters that explain grief and its effects on both mind and body, relatable stories that foster understanding, and practical reflection prompts and coping strategies they can revisit whenever needed.
