Sheri Booker, "Nine Years Under: Coming of Age in an Inner-City Funeral Home"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 1592407625 | EPUB | pages: 272 | 0.5 mb
A dazzling and darkly comic memoir about coming of age in a black funeral home in Baltimore​

Sheri Booker was only fifteen when she started working at Wylie Funeral Home in West Baltimore. She had no idea her summer job would become nine years of immersion into a hidden world. Reeling from the death of her beloved great aunt, Sheri found comfort in the funeral home and soon had the run of the place. With AIDS and gang violence threatening to wipe out a generation of black men, Wylie was never short on business.
As families came together to bury one of their own, Booker was privy to their most intimate moments of grief and despair. But along with the sadness, Booker encountered moments of dark humor: brawls between mistresses and widows, and car crashes at McDonald's with dead bodies in tow. While she never got over her terror of the embalming room, Booker learned to expect the unexpected and to never, ever cry. Nine Years Underoffers readers an unbelievable glimpse into an industry in the backdrop of all our lives.
