What if the afterlife consists of watching the consequences of what we did while we were alive?

Fay Kirkwood, a grumpy offshoot of an old Boston family, lived most of her life on a north country farm, raising pigs and fixing lawnmowers. Alive, Fay was homely, independent, and capable. Dead, she is sharp-tongued with an audience of one-the reader. As news of her death and the unorthodox disposal of her body by her outcast niece spreads through their small New England town, Fay is launched into a pinball succession of interconnected events. Much to her dismay, she cannot escape witnessing the consequences, which come thick and fast.

The Lawnmower Lady is a voice-driven comedy about death, New England culture, small-town entanglements, and a green burial decades before its time.
