Book Description
During the summer of 1974, fourteen-year-old Chuck Moretti works in his father's funeral home in a small eastern Kentucky mining town. He finds himself in situations that few adults could handle, encountering life-and-death events, exhilarating emergencies, and profound tragedies in the family business. But Chuck also yearns for resolution of his own adolescent issues and longs for his mother who died six years ago. Confused by his father's seeming lack of emotion as he carries out his funeral director's duties, Chuck frequently seeks solace and advice from Bart, an effeminate waiter at the ill-reputed Blistered Cat, a honky-tonk cafi across the street from the funeral home. In between hair-raising ambulance rides and fulfilling the most morbid duties of a mortician's assistant, Chuck wants to remain a teenager. He strives to maintain his bond with his best friend, Andy, and to develop his first romantic relationship with Molly Sue, a local preacher's daughter. He longs for the thrills of teenage antics, yet finds them somehow unsatisfying. Throughout the summer, Chuck draws on a spiritual connection he has formed with his mother and looks to her for answers he can't get from anyone else. In the end, he learns to listen to-and trust-the answers that come from heaven.

Book Description
When a person thinks people do not love them, they do anything. Mary Thompson is one of these persons. Earlier than age three, it is normal for Mary's oldest brother, James, to abuse her. As Mary grows older, the more James breaks her spirit, and grooms her for a life of pain and despair. At age seven, she discovers her identity. At age nine, her father, Guy, who she admires more than anyone else, is gone. Feeling abandoned, rejected, and unloved, a cruel and unfair life hurls Mary on a rebellious path to destruction. Her addictive-compulsive behavior leads her to quit the sixth grade, and then she goes down dead-end streets of sex, drugs, and alcohol. Mary opens up to forbidden lusts, and fatal-attraction relationships. Darkness surrounds her and it follows her everywhere she goes. It hovers over her shoulders. Once, it has claws. Several occasions, by the grace of God and prophetic dreams, she escapes death. She is not the only one who pays the price for her sinful living. Her six children pay an awful price too. Mary's web of anguish, depression, and grief catches them also. Mary did not have a normal childhood. How could she give her children a normal life? To receive the true love, she so desperately needs, Mary has to open her eyes from the darkness that hates her. But, why would she? She loves the darkness. At times, it comforts her.
