Synopsis: What if you grew up in a funeral home? This book takes you on the journey of a little girl who grew up in the 50s and 60s in a funeral home in the south. It was the first home she ever knew, and a fascinating story.

This was a fairly fascinating story of life in the 60s and into the 70s in Jubilee, Kentucky. Kate lived in a world where she knew about tragedy and loss before most even thought about it. Reading about her secretly dating black kids and breaking the rules. It was fascinating to read about her life and how she dealt with it, and reading about how the vision of her father was shattered when she found out things she didn't know about him. Also reading about her sister Evelyn and her bipolar disorder before they knew about, or diagnosed it was crazy. Her sister holding her at knife point and threatening to kill her little sister. It was all very interesting and I recommend it.
