Great story! Was hard for me to get into but I enjoyed the story and found it very relatable.
Takes place in Kentucky, so already you know this book is gonna be good. The city of Wileyville needs a graveyard superintendent and they have asked Sadie--she accepts the position and from there things get laugh out loud funny. This is quite a heart warming and uplifting read. I really felt good when i finished this book--like i had gone out with friends and had a wonderful time.
Funny, funny, funny - at least to me!
This one should make you smile if not laugh out loud!

Book Description
She had planned to let somebody else learn from adversity today, even if it meant she never, ever, ever mastered the noble virtue of patience.
Adversity, she discovered this fine May Monday morning when she flung open her front door--dressed in high-water overalls, shower shoes and a windbreaker--had other plans. It had come in the form of a brand-new, never-expected variety right there on her doorstep.
And it had a proposition for her. . .
Wileyville, Kentucky, needs a graveyard superintendent. Accepting the mayor's proposition, Sadie adds 'Fraidy Sadie the Cemetery Lady to the other roles that sometimes seem unreal to her--former Dogwood Blossom Queen, pharmacist's wife, mother of two teenagers, daughter of a man who fancies himself King Solomon--or King Lear? But her daddy's antics and a journey with her sisters into the past bring Sadie a stunning revelation, and an understanding of what she's been waiting for.
