Book Blurb:
“In life I had suffered a thousand deaths, and in
the midst of death I encountered true life.
I had looked in all the wrong places, until there, on a hill of ivy, I
was found.”
Driving aimlessly through the stormy suburbs
of San Francisco, Casey Wheeler is fleeing from her abusive and unfaithful
husband with her five year old daughter Maddy asleep in the backseat. With nowhere to go and no one to turn to,
Casey loses control of her emotions and her car, crashing into a hillside below
a mortuary. Desperately seeking shelter,
and more so independence, she finds herself taken in by the mortuary director
who apprehensively offers her a job and a place to live. As she stumbles through the ins and outs of
her new and morbid surroundings, Casey is forced into a hostile custody battle
with her relentless and increasingly violent husband. In the midst of all the chaos, she finds a
new family and even love in the eccentric and protective people of Golden Oaks
Funeral Home. But just when she has
found all she could hope for, she will have to fight to the death to protect
it.
This semiautobiographical story of a
single-mother and her journey to self-discovery, independence and a true
understanding of love will keep readers captivated and yearning for more.
