Author: Kate Mayfield

I’m not sure where this book came from; it was on the shelf at the studio. I doubt I would have purchased it as I don’t often read, or enjoy, a memoir.

It is well written and reads a lot like a novel. The author describes her life growing up above a funeral home that is owned by her father. They live in a small Southern town and are often ostracized not only due to their family business but also because they are newcomers.

Although it doesn’t go into too much detail, there was a lot I learned from the discussions the author had with her father regarding the funeral industry.
