Mi chiamo Clover Brooks, e ai vivi ho sempre preferito i morti. Dal giorno in cui il mio maestro d'asilo è caduto all'improvviso dalla sedia mentre leggeva una storia di Peter Coniglio e non si è più svegliato, qualcosa in me è cambiato per sempre. Sono stata l'unica bambina a non fuggire, tra tutti quelli in classe. Quando poi anche il mio amatissimo nonno ci ha lasciati, ho scelto di dedicare la mia vita ad aiutare le persone ad abbandonare questo mondo in serenità. Perché sono convinta che nessuno dovrebbe morire da solo, o senza il conforto di una voce amica.
