“The Death Class: A True Story About Life,” by Erika Hayasaki
Tragedies always make you think about your own mortality. Someday, yes, you’re going to die. But as you’ll see in “The Death Class: A True Story About Life” by Erika Hayasaki, you need to learn to live first.
As a journalist for several larger newspapers, Hayasaki had seen plenty of death.

And it began to bother her – a lot.
