"All souls get what they deserve in the end. Of that, I am certain. Clare is the undead fox of Deadwood Forest. Here, leaves grow in a perpetual state of fall: not quite dead but not quite alive--just like Clare, who leads a solitary life guiding souls to their final resting place. Clare's quiet and predictable days are met with upheaval when a badger soul named Gingersnipes knocks on his door. Despite Clare's efforts to usher her into the Afterlife, Gingersnipes is unable to leave Deadwood. This is unprecedented. Baffling. A disturbing mystery that threatens the delicate balance between the living and the dead. Desperate for help, Clare and Gingersnipes set out on a treacherous journey to find Hesterfowl, the visionary grouse who recently foretold turmoil in Deadwood. But upon their arrival, Hesterfowl divulges a shocking revelation that leaves Clare devastated, outraged, and determined to do anything to change his fate. This delightfully grim tale is a heartwarming exploration of moving on..."--Dust jacket.
