Six Feet Over it

Teenaged Leigh, whose best friend has recently died and is something of a social misfit, moves away from her beloved seaside town when her impulsive father buys a cemetery far inland.  What’s worse, Leigh and her family actually live at the cemetery and she becomes the primary seller of gravesites to grieving customers.  Can things get much more depressing for Leigh?  It depends on whether she’s willing to let new people into her life, including a wise-beyond-his-years Mexican gravedigger and a gentle florist’s daughter who dresses like a Swiss milkmaid but is far less ethereal than she appears.

 

Also a great story if you enjoy butterflies and/or York Peppermint Patties.  Read it and see why.
