From Here to Eternity
Summary
The best-selling author of Smoke Gets in Your Eyes expands our sense of what it means to treat the dead with "dignity". Fascinated by our pervasive terror of dead bodies, mortician Caitlin Doughty set out to discover how other cultures care for their dead. In rural Indonesia, she observes a man clean and dress his grandfather's mummified body. Grandpa's mummy has lived in the family home for two years, where the family has maintained a warm and respectful relationship. She meets Bolivian natitas (cigarette-smoking, wish-granting human skulls) and introduces us to a Japanese kotsuage, in which relatives use chopsticks to pluck their loved ones' bones from cremation ashes. With curiosity and morbid humor, Doughty encounters vividly decomposed bodies and participates in compelling, powerful death practices almost entirely unknown in America. From Here to Eternity introduces death-care innovators researching green burial and body composting, explores new spaces for mourning - including a glowing Buddha columbarium in Japan and America's only open-air pyre - and reveals unexpected new possibilities for our own death rituals. Author bio: Mortician Caitlin Doughty - host and creator of Ask a Mortician and the New York Times best-selling author of Smoke Gets in Your Eyes - founded the death acceptance collective The Order of the Good Death and cofounded Death Salon. She lives in Los Angeles, where she runs her nonprofit funeral home, Undertaking LA.

Diamond Mafia
Summary
For as long as Bobbi, Lucci, Diamond, and Kay Kay have been in each other's lives, they have always had one another's back. Whether they were fighting other squads during homeroom or boosting outfits for college frat parties, neither girl has ever questioned the when, what, where, or why of their actions. For them, riding for each other was automatic. When Bobbi presents her girls with a plan that would eliminate their financial burdens and have them set for life, one by one they jump on board. Never in a million years would they have imagined that this perfectly planned heist would be the very thing that put their lifelong friendships to the test. In the beginning, everything seems to be going smoothly for the self-proclaimed Diamond Mafia, but when lies are exposed, disloyalty is discovered, and trust goes out the window, these four women are faced with the task of forgiving one another and moving on or allowing one act of betrayal to destroy their cliques bond forever.
