About This Book

Every flame tells a story.

George McGlory has been adrift since the death of his beloved wife, Audrey. But when he stumbles upon a public health funeral—a stark ceremony with no flowers, no mourners, and no love—he resolves to do something about it.

Determined that every life deserves to be remembered, George teams up with florist Elena, undertaker Edwin, and Sid, the eccentric owner of a bric-a-brac shop. Together they form The Light a Candle Society, a group devoted to bringing light, beauty, and compassion to those whose final journeys would otherwise go unnoticed.

As they craft heartfelt tributes for strangers, George and his newfound friends begin to confront the ghosts of their own pasts—discovering that remembrance can heal as much as it honors.

Tender, uplifting, and filled with gentle humor, The Light a Candle Society is a moving story about love, loss, and the small acts of kindness that can illuminate even the darkest days.
