Description
by Kevin M. O'Connor (Author)
As a child in the 1950s, Kevin O'Connor knew his house was different than his friends.
A stately, three-story, nineteenth century Victorian. His bed tucked next to a stage in a former ballroom. His uncle and aunt lived with their three daughters on the floor below. A large electric organ in a bay window of the first-floor mortuary business. Stacked caskets and an embalming room in the basement. Nobody had a house like his. Set from the 1920s to '80s, Two Floors Above Grief is full of fascinating details and anecdotes about life as a funeral home child, brought to vivid life through a compelling collection of letters written by O'Connor and various family members who lived and worked together at the O'Connor Funeral Home in Elgin, Illinois. Blending the twenty-four-hour business of death and its constantly ringing phone with the joy experienced by his families through music, pets, backyard basketball games, co-parenting, faith, and celebrations, O'Connor offers a reflective love letter to the affirmation of family love and embracing life.
