Title: The Funeral Planner

Author: Lynn Isenberg

KDL Description:

Maddy Banks launches a pre-funeral event planning business, with the help of a venture capitalist, that teaches her valuable life lessons.

Amazon Description:

An initial investment is all she needs . . .

The stereotype is “starving artist” not “starving entrepreneur.” However, business-school grad Maddy Banks lives in her office, works 24/7 and hasn’t shopped in so long that her closet has official historical status. Still, she’s convinced that her manic drive, propensity for risk and dogged follow-through will make her millions. Someday. They have to. Right?

Success comes at a price . . .

When “death” gives Maddy a second chance at happiness, she quickly realizes that schmoozing and spreadsheeting her way through life isn’t much of a life at all. Armed with an angel investor and a hot VC (um, that’s venture capitalist), Maddy starts party planning for those who won’t be attending . . . while she learns some hard lessons about trust, working with “friends” and mixing business with pleasure.
