Flower Fairies — Kristine Kathryn Rusch

Funeral directors deal with everything at a funeral, but only a few must handle an influx of flower fairies. Or worse: the arrival of a flower fairy child, alone and unsupervised. Flower fairies are unpredictable…except when they get angry. And then they become terrifying. So, what will they do if they think one of their children faces danger?

“[Flower Fairies] is a sensitive, beautiful and heartwarming tale of honoring the dead.”
