Pushing Up Daisy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798234034229)

When your world feels like a tomb, what does it take to bring you back to life?

Twenty years ago, Daisy's dream of becoming a dancer came to an abrupt halt on the back of Frank's motorcycle. He "rescued" her by marrying her, but over the decades, as they move away from her family, and he takes a job that keeps him on the road most of the time, their marriage has become a constant reminder of her brokenness and increasing isolation for her.

Then Daisy receives an inheritance nobody saw coming: a hearse.

The surprise brings her a perplexing question, "What am I going to do with a hearse?"

Enter Carma. A whirlwind of animal prints, patchouli, folk music, and a tendency to say, "let's do it" before she hears the whole plan. Her arrival next door gives Daisy a good, loving shake. And challenges her to answer that question.

But just as Daisy is becoming brave enough to try stretching her legs, she begins to discover that she has been kept in the dark about a lot more than she ever could have guessed, and very soon she will have to step into the courage to fully take the wheel of her own destiny.

Featuring a fierce bond of sisterhood, deep emotional resonance, and a few touches of humor, Pushing Up Daisy is a poignant, empowering journey about the courage it takes to resurrect your life when you've been buried alive.
