Title: You never said good-bye: A mourning
A daughter mourns the loss of her father and finds words for the indescribable. Sober, loving and absolutely honest, she describes the emotional chaos after the loss, her fears and doubts and her hope. The texts are surprisingly different from anything that the funeral literature usually presents: instead of self-help its a summary of thoughts, in the style of quotes.
--Abigail's Targeted Tip:Selling nonconformist books requires extra effort. Sticking to a tried and true blurb format provides common ground for potential readers.
