Jo Montfort is beautiful and rich, and soon - like all the girls in her class - she’ll graduate from finishing school and be married off to a wealthy bachelor. Which is the last thing she wants. Jo dreams of becoming a writer - a newspaper reporter like the trailblazing Nellie Bly. Wild aspirations aside, Jo’s life seems perfect until tragedy strikes: Her father is found dead. Charles Montfort shot himself while cleaning his pistol.

Phenomenal!

I have owned six copies of The Tea Rose. The first three were paperbacks and I read each until they’d fallen to bits. Then a hardback, a digital, and an audible copy. Jennifer Donnelly has been my favorite author for more than a decade, and The Tea Rose my favorite book for even longer. I read constantly so holding that top spot is quite a feat. And yet somehow, I found a new favorite book here. I couldn’t have imagined that I would ever love a book or a character as much as I have loved this book and Jo. The characters were phenomenal. The story intriguing. This is another stunning production form the brilliant mind of Jennifer Donnelly. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Fascinated by our pervasive terror of dead bodies, mortician Caitlin Doughty set out to discover how other cultures care for their dead. In rural Indonesia, she observes a man clean and dress his grandfather's mummified body. Grandpa's mummy has lived in the family home for two years, where the family has maintained a warm and respectful relationship. She meets Bolivian natitas (cigarette-smoking, wish-granting human skulls) and introduces us to a Japanese kotsuage.

We started following Caitlyn on YouTube after my daughter (7) lost a dear friend in a car accident. She’s afraid of the dark and knew her friend was as well and was very concerned about him being trapped in a dark coffin alone. (Cue Gone with the Wind movie scene with full sobbing) She had a thousand questions and I was able to answer all of the questions about what we believe in our religion happens to his spirit after death, I was not however capable of answering questions about bugs eating his body or about his corpse in general. I didn’t want to lie to her, and so I started binge watching these videos and sat her down to listen to the ones I felt were relevant. It’s been about a month and she is handling the loss so well. We started in on the Audiobooks and fully adore them. Thank you so much for informing us. We’ve got our paperwork together now and our kids know what to do if we die. They know what we want for our bodies and we know what they want. We are still crossing our fingers that Texas is going to start allowing full on Pyre love here, but more important than what actually happens to my body when I’m not here to care about it anymore, my family doesn’t have to be afraid of those choices. We won’t be lost.
