The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip

Even as she enters hospice care, spunky 79-year-old Clara Kip has so much life to live — and to give, particularly to the young reporter who has come to interview her.

Winner of the 2023 Christy Award and Carol Award for debut novel, this deeply moving story about a life-changing intergenerational friendship has prompted readers around the world to declare “I want to be like Mrs. Kip!”

"This heartfelt portrait of a life simply but generously lived is testament to the deep significance of individual influence and a legacy of goodness."

– Booklist

"The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip by Sara Brunsvold will make you laugh; it will make you cry; it will make you ponder so much in your life. This is a tale like no other."

– Jennfier Lynn, Instagram review

“It's the type of book that moves you to love more deeply and challenges you in your walk with God. It could have been a sad and heavy book, but it wasn't. I did cry, and it does tug the heartstrings, but it's also filled with joy and even suspense.”

– Heather Wood, Goodreads review
