beautiful touching book, beautifully and touchingly narrated by jennifer pickens. the story and life of clover, a death doula, set in new york city, my home town. the book weaves the outer life of clover, her neighbors, clients, friends and family with her internal life of loss and isolation and coming to terms with that. the book shows how we are not black and white but rather a big messy conglomeration of all sorts of beliefs, feelings, fears and hopes. it is sweet without being sappy. and i found it very believable.
