The undertaker's daughter
(Large Print)

"When Kate Mayfield was born, she was taken to a funeral home. Her father was an undertaker, and for thirteen years the family resided in a place synonymous with death. A place where the living and the dead entered their house like a vapor. A place where Kate would spend the entirety of her childhood. In a memoir that reads like a Harper Lee novel, Mayfield draws the reader into a world of Southern mystique and ghosts. Her vivid and stranger-than-fiction story ultimately shows how living in a house of death can prepare one for life." Page [4] cover.
