Not everyone is comfortable confronting tragedy and loss, yet it's something most of us must eventually face. If the things we love are stripped away, what will remain? The Mourner's Cradle is the story of a widow, Anne Sharpe, and her battle to make sense of her husband's death, which places her on a dark and perilous path.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Tell us more about your lead character.\u003cbr\u003e The invisible woman reveals herself. Her name is Anne Sharpe. People hardly noticed her before her husband's death. Not everyone understands her. Her grief has brought out a dark fury in her, though perhaps it has been there for some time and her husband's death was the catalyst for its liberation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Why should readers give this book a try?\u003cbr\u003e For a glimpse into the human abyss and a cold journey to long-forsaken pinnacles. So be careful, dear readers. You dance with skeletons.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Do you have other books featuring these characters?\u003cbr\u003e The Mourner's Cradle shares its setting of St. Charles with my debut horror novella, Poisonous. Some readers will find some familiarity in this, though The Mourner's Cradle is its own story and a different tale of a different time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tommy B.
