This is a great book! Warning A True Story ! Many things in this book are REAL! If you live in the area you will remember them. If you are not in a safe place pass this one by. It will tear at your emotions and make you think.
The author describes an eccentric professor and details the awful life stories of several of the people she's encountered but doesn't make any effort to elucidate what life can teach us about death or vice versa. I was disappointed.
