| Summary |
Sixteen-year-old Georgia Richter feels conflicted about the funeral home her parents run-especially because she has the ability to summon ghosts. With one touch of any body that passes through Richter Funeral Home, she can awaken the spirit of the departed. With one more touch, she makes the spirit disappear, to a fate that remains mysterious to Georgia. To cope with her deep anxiety about death, she does her best to fulfill the final wishes of the deceased whose ghosts she briefly revives. Then her classmate Milo's body arrives at Richter-and his spirit wants help with unfinished business, forcing Georgia to reckon with her relationship to grief and mortality. "Funeral Girl is a touching debut about ghosts, grief, and the relationships we have with people both living and dead."-Nita Tyndall, author of Who I Was with Her "What a stirring, raw, and brave novel this is, to look directly into our deepest fears and refuse to resolve them! Ohland offers her lyrical hand to share anxiety and grief, and to honor those who experience them. Funeral Girl reminds us that we are all of us fragile and human, but also, that none of us ever have to be alone. An extraordinary debut; an extraordinary new voice."-Saundra Mitchell, author of All the Things We Do in the Dark |
