Mattie Jackson Selecman/ ‘Lemons on Friday’/ Thomas Nelson/W Publishing Group,

Mattie Jackson Selecman knows grief, and in her humbling and inspiring book ‘Lemons On Friday,’ (Thomas Nelson/W Publishing Group, November 16, 2021), she shares the most heartbreaking loss of her life and how her faith helped turn the most sour lemons into sweet lemonade.

Selecman was 11 months into marriage with her beloved husband Ben Selecman, when he suddenly and tragically passed away from a traumatic brain injury. At age 28, she became a widow and was forced to find a way to navigate a future drastically different from the one she had planned with her husband.
