As the title implies, Lady Undertaker tells the story of three women in the male-dominated world of the funeral industry. Set in a fictitious small town in Georgia, just outside Atlanta, the book spans 40 years, ending in the present day. The three women profiled are Leona, wife of a funeral director, Sydney, her daughter, and Kalen, her niece. Both younger women are licensed funeral directors. Lady Undertaker is a labor of love for authors Lyn Johnson and Lisa D. Branch-Tucker, two sister-friends who run a funeral home in Philadelphia, where they are both licensed funeral directors. They also own a catering and event planning business. They say as strong African-American women, Both our mothers and grandmothers are entrepreneurs. It was a natural fit for us to work in the funeral industry. They are currently writing two more books, Embalmer's Blues and The Final Viewing.

Hamilton and the Law offers a revealing look into the legal community's response to the musical, which continues to resonate in a country still deeply divided about the reach of the law. A star-powered cast of legal minds—from two former U.S. solicitors general to leading commentators on culture and society—contribute brief and enga...

When Nancy Tucker was eight years old, her class had to write about what they wanted in life. She thought, and thought, and then, though she didn't know why, she wrote: 'I want to be thin.' Over the next twelve years, she developed anorexia nervosa, was hospitalised, and finally swung the other way towards bulimia nervosa. She left school, rejoined school; went in and out of therapy; ebbed in and out of life. From the bleak reality of a body breaking down to the electric mental highs of starvation, hers has been a life held in thrall by food. Told with remarkable insight, dark humour and acute intelligence, The Time in Between is a profound, important window into the workings of an unquiet mind – a Wasted for the 21st century.
