Nine Years Under by Sheri Booker, June 2013

If you were a fan of Six Feet Under, perhaps you should check out Nine Years Under, the true story of Sheri Booker’s nine years, starting at age 15, working at a local African-American funeral home in Baltimore. Publishers Weekly praised the book, saying ” Details specific to African-American funerary preparations, including styling black women’s hair, give the reader an intimate understanding of the importance of funeral homes in the African-American community.”
