But with the unexpected death of Seager s husband the purpose of her own life becomes hard for her to see. Suddenly at forty she is a widow and the single mother of two young boys. For the first time she feels alone in the universe. As she struggles to navigate her life after loss Seager takes solace in the alien beauty of exoplanets and the technical challenges of exploration. At the same time she discovers earthbound connections that feel every bit as wondrous when strangers and loved ones alike reach out to her across the space of her grief. Among them are the Widows of Concord a group of women offering advice on everything from home maintenance to dating and her beloved sons Max and Alex. Most unexpected of all there is another kind of one-in-a-billion match not in the stars but here at home. Probing and invigoratingly honest The Smallest Lights in the Universe is its own kind of light in the dark.
