'I adored this story and instantly fell in love with Grace Salmon. A beautiful book about learning to let go and start living your life' Nina Pottell, Prima
'A touching story about learning to live' Sun
No one is ever happy to see Grace Salmon.
As a funeral arranger, she's responsible for steering strangers through the hardest day of their lives. It's not a task many would want - but, for Grace, giving people the chance to say a proper goodbye to the ones they love is the most important job in the world.
From the flowers in the church to the drinks served at the wake,Grace knows it's the personal touches that count - and it's amazing what you can find out about someone from their grieving relatives ... or their Facebook page. But when she accidentally finds out too much about someone who's died, Grace is finally forced to step out of the shadows... and start living.

Person
Katy sold all she owned, filled a backpack and booked a one-way ticket to south east Asia and never looked back.
The acclaimed travel blogger's experiences inspired her to pen 'The Lonely Hearts Travel Club' series and saw her labelled the 'Backpacking Bridget Jones' by the global media.
When she's not globe-trotting, writing about her adventures and telling anyone who'll listen to grab life by the horns, Katy loves catching up with her family and friends and convincing herself that her cake addiction isn't out of control - just yet.
