The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip

A reporter’s throwaway assignment becomes a lesson in living well.

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.

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.

“Clara’s vivaciousness in the face of death makes her a captivating protagonist.” ~ Publishers Weekly, on The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip
