Cassie

As a young undertaker, I believed I had taken on nothing more than a job. But it wasn't long before I encountered unspeakable grief.One of my most shattering assignments involved a 14-year-old boy, gone by his own hand. We found him at his foster home-but first, we came upon his sister. Her tears fell in silence, her small world shattered. I stood watching her, unable to offer more than quiet witness.For decades, I have wondered about that girl. Did she find strength in the ruins? Did kindness eventually meet her along the road?This book is born from those questions.A story shaped by memory and compassion, it imagines a life beyond unimaginable loss. It is a prayer that somewhere, somehow, that young girl found her way-and that life, in the end, was gentle with her.
