The Collected Regrets of Clover

From the day she watched her kindergarten teacher drop dead during a dramatic telling of Peter Rabbit, Clover Brooks has felt a stronger connection with the dying than she has with the living. Two decades later, when the beloved grandfather who raised her dies alone while she is traveling, Clover decides to become a death doula in New York City, dedicating her life to ushering people peacefully through their end-of-life process.

The thing is, Clover spends so much time with the dying that she has no life of her own. That all changes when the final wishes of a feisty old woman send Clover on a road trip across the country, where she is forced to examine what she really wants, and whether she’ll have the courage to go after it. 

Probing, clever, timely, and hopeful, The Collected Regrets of Clover turns the normally taboo subject of death into a reason to celebrate life. Along the way, it illuminates the little-known role of a “death doula” in our youth-obsessed society, as well as the experiences of isolation and loneliness that so many of us have grappled with in new ways over the last two years.
