Clover Brooks understands loneliness.  At age six, her parents died in an accident and she was then raised by her grandfather.  There could not have been a stronger bond than the one that grew between them. Her attempts at friendship and romance failed and left her scarred.  If she didn't get close to anyone, then no one could hurt her. She hadn't seen her grandfather for a year when he died.  Her guilt was intense.  After all he had given her, he died alone.  Having been a student of death, so to speak, she became a death doula. Was this her destiny or a way to cope with her grief?  Now, at age thirty-six, Clover has never been kissed and has one friend.  She spends more time with those that are dying than anyone else.  A chance meeting with a man and a new neighbor changes the course of her life. Will she adapt?

Author Mikki Brammer has created a gem of a protagonist in the character of Clover. She is kind and compassionate, always respecting her clients' privacy.  She will do anything she can to provide care and dignity at the end of their lives.  But, what about her life?  Will there be someone there with her at the end of her life and will she have regrets?

There is much to value in this unique and beautifully told story.  There are moving and poignant moments. It is filled with insight, sensitivity, and wisdom.  Grief is closely examined.  THE COLLECTED REGRETS OF CLOVER by Mikki Brammer is as much about living life as it is about death.  This book is impactful and memorable.  Readers will think about Clover Brooks long after reading the last page of this book.  Highly recommended.
