The Undertaker: A Memoir of the First Woman Funeral Director in the Core of Brooklyn
()
About this ebook
The Undertaker is Laura Del Gaudio's lively story of learning the family business from under the kitchen table as a child. It is how she learned empathy in the face of unspeakable traumas while understanding the impact of trauma herself. Licensed at the age of 21, she became the 3rd generation in the family business which was located at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge. Laura Del Gaudio has written a one-of-a-kind book, like the author herself who is authentic, a New York character as any. It is a toss up between "6 Feet Under" meets "A Bronx Tale" and The "Undertaking: Life Studies from the Dismal Trade" meets "A Walker in the City."
The Undertaker is a story about suffering, and also about family, community, healing, triumph and what it means to be loyal. The Undertaker is not only by a woman-for-women, but for those who want to better understand what it means to be a woman in a world where the future is female.
