A Family Learns to Deal With Tragedy With Dignity

A family is unmoored by the loss of a newborn so they decide to move to the big city and help an Uncle with his mortuary business. Living above the mortuary sounds grisly but they quickly adjust just in time for the deadly Spanish Flu pandemic. With war on the horizon the family and neighbors lose more loved ones in Europe and to the flu at home. Soon loss seems like a part of daily life just as they must all pitch in to help run the overcrowded mortuary. Emotional heart-gripping story of a family dealing with grief by helping others deal with it gently. You will easily bond with these courageous women and the lives they touch. Historical fiction that really hits home. My thanks to the publisher for the advance copy.
