Mandi’s Notes & Highlights

The Celebrants by Steven Rowley

2 notes & 3 highlights

This was not their little game as usual, “funeral” as pick-me-up, designed to give them a chance at a new life when they felt most at wit’s end with their old. This funeral was a real goodbye. Only, none of them knew that yet.

I dare you to read the first chapter and choose not to finish. Hooked!

Mandi’s Quotes

“Thousands of candles can be lit from a single one, and the life of that candle will not be shortened. That’s what you do for others. You light their candle with yours.”
― Steven Rowley, The Celebrants
