About this ebook
In post–Civil War Belleport, Josephine “Josie” Bennett arrives with a lone skill and little else: her training as an embalmer. Hired by a struggling undertaker, she must carve out a place in a city raw with poverty, prejudice, and unrest. As Josie tends the dead and cares for the living, she confronts violence, fragile alliances, and the fragile comforts of community.

With moments of compassion and hard truths about power and belonging, the novel explores identity, resilience, and the costs of survival in a changing nation.
