The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip Paperback - 2022

From the rear cover

A throwaway assignment is about to change two lives forever

Aidyn Kelley is talented, ambitious, and ready for a more serious assignment than the fluff pieces she's been getting as a cub reporter for the Kansas City Star. In her eagerness, she pushes too hard, earning herself the menial task of writing an obituary for an unremarkable woman who's just entered hospice care.

But there's more to Clara Kip than meets the eye. The spirited septuagenarian may be dying, but she's not quite ready to cash it in yet. Never one to shy away from an assignment herself, she can see that God brought the young reporter into her life for a reason. And if it's a story Aidyn Kelley wants, that's just what Mrs. Kip will give her--but she's going to have to work for it.

"Winsome and wise, this thoughtful story of an unlikely friendship between two women will stick with you long after you finish the last page. Oh, if I could only be like Mrs. Kip as I grow old!"--Suzanne Woods Fisher, bestselling author of On a Summer Tide

"Just as I was craving an uplifting novel, Mrs. Clara Kip entered my life. Grab some tissues and hunker down. Once you start reading you won't want to stop."--Susie Finkbeiner, author of The Nature of Small Birds and My Mother's Chamomile

"An unforgettable read. Sara Brunsvold has captured the essence of what can happen when love, grace, mercy, and God's Word are the gifts extended to those we meet on our journey through life."--Judith Miller, award-winning author of A Perfect Silhouette
