Publisher's Synopsis
Do You Want To Live Forever? Ever since Jacob Benjamin touched his dead Grandmother's cheek while she lay in her coffin, he has had a fascination with death. The mystery of the grave and what lies beyond it became a lifetime quest for the young man. His Master's Degree thesis project explores the decades abandoned Waxley Mortuary, sitting in ruins. His research partners join him on a journey through life and legacy - but Jacob discovers there is still activity inside the dilapidated walls of Waxley. From the appearance of an old photo the story begins; and as the mirror of one's life reveals actions and regrets, Jacob realizes that there is one figure standing between him and his legacy, salvation, and redemption: The Mortician. A.L. Mengel goes back to his storytelling roots with a novel about the pursuit of legacy amidst the solitude of darkness. Can one shed their transgressions to accept their shortcomings?
