PUBLICATION BY JADED IBIS PRESS


Annie is married and pregnant with her first child, and then on one fateful night, her husband dies in an accident. Now she must navigate single motherhood, mourning, and learning to love again. The Fifth Chamber is a tender and honest memoir about the dance of loss and life.

“There’s no one, and I mean no one, who writes like Anne Gudger. A balm to the heart and a hug and an ‘It’s so good, I wish I wrote that’ kind of beautiful.”
โ€”Jennifer Pastiloff, bestselling author of On Being Humanย
