Eddie Denty Has a Problem ... His Momma!
No matter how hard he tries, Eddie can't please Momma. She tells him he's too dumb to amount to anything. Yet Eddie has a good job in the Forget-me-nots Department of Ash-Mart, the department store that caters to the bereaved, providing everything a person who has lost a loved one might possibly need, even though they don't know they need it until they see it. Funerals, cremations, burials, fancy rrns, memorial items--Ash-Mart has it all. Eddie has done so well selling memorial coffee mugs and coffin-shaped lunch boxes that he's earned a raise and a promotion--to the Cremation Department. When he tells Momma about it, she only sniffs and says he'll never succeed there.
Momma may be right. The Cremation Department supervisor doesn't want Eddie working there and tries his hardest to discourage him and send him back to Forget-me-nots. But Eddie is used to being disparaged--after all, Momma does it all the time. He sticks it out, ignoring all the teasing, cruel jibes, and mean tricks. Why is the supervisor treating him that way and not letting him learn the work? Eddie suspects he may be hiding something.
Eddie is right. And the closer he gets to finding out what it is, the more desperate the supervisor becomes. He must get rid of Eddie by any means. Might the next cremated corpse be Eddies?
You'll enjoy this book filled with lots of humor, a little pathos, and a lovely romance between Eddie and an Ash-Mart grief counselor who is just the kind of girl Momma might approve of.
