\n\nBook summary:
\n"Mikki Brammer's The Collected Regrets of Clover is a big-hearted an d life-affirming debut about a death doula who\, in caring for others at t he end of their life\, has forgotten how to live her own\, for readers of The Midnight Library. What's the point of giving someone a beautiful death if you can't give yourself a beautiful life? From the day she watched her kindergarten teacher drop dead during a dramatic telling of Peter Rabbit\ , Clover Brooks has felt a stronger connection with the dying than she has with the living. After the beloved grandfather who raised her dies alone while she is traveling\, Clover becomes a death doula in New York City\, d edicating her life to ushering people peacefully through their end-of-life process. Clover spends so much time with the dying that she has no life o f her own\, until the final wishes of a feisty old woman send Clover on a trip across the country to uncover a forgotten love story--and perhaps\, h er own happy ending. As she finds herself struggling to navigate the uncha rted roads of romance and friendship\, Clover is forced to examine what sh e really wants\, and whether she'll have the courage to go after it. Probi ng\, clever\, and hopeful\, The Collected Regrets of Clover turns the norm ally taboo subject of death into a reason to celebrate life"-- Provided by publisher.
