Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at a cemetery? Join us on Monday October 26 at 6 p.m. where Midwest native Sandy Doyle, will talk about her book My Life at the Cemetery: It’s Not as Dead as You Think: My Spiritual Journey through Life and Death. Working in the death care industry for over 14 years, Sandy experienced a broad spectrum of human emotions and a colorful cast of characters that would regularly lead her to say, “One of these days I am going to write a book!” My Life at the Cemetery is that book. Through her writing, various speaking engagements, and podcast, Life Love and the Cemetery, Sandy shares true, emotional, and oftentimes surprising, stories from her years working at a cemetery. She also gives important insights to help people reflect, plan, and connect more deeply with life. Registration is recommended but not required, and the first 10 to register will receive a copy of Sandy’s book at the program! Please call or visit the library to reserve your seat.
