Hello Amber,

I have just read your book The Final Bath.
It was very inspiring.
I am actually considering working in this field.
Nice to know we´ve got some books in common!

The continuing journey of Louise, now a seasoned Embalmer... As the first woman ever hired in the County's history as a Forensic Autopsy Assistant, Louise delves into the horrors she anticipated in encountering working with the ravages of the dead- and into the actual horrors she never anticipated among the living. Experience an intense revelation of the brutality of life and the plight of the modern death-care worker. Striving to balance her volatile work-life and her changing family, Louise punches out a gritty biopsy of morgue life and submits it with passion and brutal honesty through the eyes of a woman who may not be man enough for the job. Find out what really happens on the inevitable journey when we all must go... INTO THE HANDS OF STRANGERS AMAZON.COM

The Final Bath is a story of those who chose to orchestrate by hand the last rite of passage for the rest of us...the last hands to touch us. Young optimistic Louise is a recent graduate of Mortuary Science who begins her journey into a required two-year Embalmer's Apprenticeship. Confident in her education in caring for the dead, Louise struggles to understand, life, love, tragedy, and the common bond that attracts workers to the profession. Unaware at first that the start of her professional life will also coincide with her path toward a spiritual awakening, Louise begins to understand the incredible cycle of life that ends with The Final Bath.
