- Synopsis
- When nine-year-old C.J. Walker touches the arm of his mother's dead friend at her wake service and whispers the wish that she wouldn't be dead, he's just trying to do the right thing. But when the undertaker sees the woman's rosary sliding off her outstretched fingers, the firestorm begins. Just keep reading and keep reflecting. The ensuing mayhem explores life and death themes with the focus on parents at odds with one another, gawking crowds, powerful government agencies, the sensation-seeking media, and the authority of the Catholic Church.
