The Extraordinary Deaths Of Mrs. Kip
by Sara Brunsvold
-From Amazon- Aidyn Kelley is talented, ambitious, and ready for a more serious assignment than the fluff pieces she's been getting as a cub reporter for the Kansas City Star. In her eagerness, she pushes too hard, earning herself the menial task of writing an obituary for an unremarkable woman who's just entered hospice care. But there's more to Clara Kip than meets the eye. The spirited septuagenarian may be dying, but she's not quite ready to cash it in yet. Never one to shy away from an assignment herself, she can see that God brought the young reporter into her life for a reason. And if it's a story Aidyn Kelley wants, that's just what Mrs. Kip will give her--but she's going to have to work for it. Debut author Sara Brunsvold delights with this emotional multigenerational story that shows that the very best life is made up of thousands of little deaths to self. You'll want to be just like Mrs. Kip when you grow up! ISBN-13: 978-0800740276 What will you be remembered for... | This Book received a 4 Bark rating. |
I picked up The Extraordinary Deaths Of Mrs. Kip based entirely on that oh-so-intriguing title but even after reading the back cover I was still not quite prepared for the emotional rollercoaster I was about to embark on...
Sara Brunsvold's debut novel was most definitely a moving story – the story of an older woman passing on her story and a lifetime of hard-earned wisdom to a young woman who, unknown to herself, is in great need of both. The moments between Aidyn and Mrs. Kip were funny at times, sometimes sweet, but always, always poignant.
There isn't a lot more that I can say about Sara Brunsvold's The Extraordinary Deaths Of Mrs. Kip because it is a story that you really need to discover for yourself...
