About The Gravedigger’s Guild
Alice Matins is dead. With the passing of this Mississippi matriarch, estranged sisters Maggy and Quinn collide over the course of Alice’s wake and funeral amidst a motley band of gossiping church ladies and feuding gravediggers.
As storm clouds gather, the two women unbury secrets from their past involving Quinn’s husband that could resurrect their once-strong sisterly bond. But he has secrets of his own.
The Gravedigger’s Guild examines the indelible ties of sisterhood and the complicated legacy we leave behind.
With a style similar to Andrea Bobotis (The Last List of Miss Judith Kratt), this novel will appeal to readers who enjoy stories of strong sibling relationships like Tara Conklin’s The Last Romantics and fans of picturesque Southern tales like Sweet Magnolias.
