Registration and book pickup begins April 14. The book tells a story of a death doula who assists people through their end of life process. A certified Life-Cycle Celebrant will be in attendance. R
From the day she watched her kindergarten teacher drop dead during a dramatic telling of Peter Rabbit, Clover Brooks has felt a stronger connection with the dying than she has with the living. After the beloved grandfather who raised her dies alone while she is traveling, Clover becomes a death doula in New York City, dedicating her life to ushering people peacefully through their end-of-life process.
Clover spends so much time with the dying that she has no life of her own, until the final wishes of a feisty old woman send Clover on a road trip to uncover a forgotten love story—and perhaps, her own happy ending. As she finds herself struggling to navigate the uncharted roads of romance and friendship, Clover is forced to examine what she really wants, and whether she’ll have the courage to go after it.
Due to the sensitive topic of this book, Rebekka James will help facilitate this discussion. Rebekka is a writer and Life-Cycle Celebrant certified in creating end-of-life ceremonies. She believes embracing mortality can lead to more meaningful life choices.
