They are not dead—and neither are their stories. Each memory offers a mirror—and a map—for the living. With every grave or haunting story that I study, I toast those who came before us. As a literature professor and cemetery historian, my work combines my love of words and the stories of those from the past. Welcome! -Sharon Pajka
