Nine years under : coming of age in an inner-city funeral home / Sheri Booker. by Booker, Sheri. Penguin, c2013.

ISBN:  9781592407125 (hc.) Alternate title:  9 years under : coming of age in an inner-city funeral home. Description:  261 p. ; 22 cm. Notes:  "Gotham Books". Summary:  Sheri Booker was only fifteen years old when she started working at Wylie Funeral Home in West Baltimore. She had no idea that her summer job would become nine years of immersion in a hidden world. Reeling from the death of her beloved great aunt, she found comfort in the funeral home, and soon has the run of the place, from its sacred chapels to the terrifying embalming room. This vibrant tour of a macabre world reveals an urban funeral culture where photo-screened memorial T-shirts often replace suits and ties and the dead are sent off with a joint or a fifth of cognac. Nine Years Under offers readers an unbelievable glimpse into an industry in the backdrop of all our lives. Genre:  Memoirs.
