Books on death and dying (like Lurlene McDaniels)
------------------------
compiled by Miriam Neiman (Neiman@glasct.org), January 2000
from contributions to YALSA-BK and PUBYAC


Many of these books are from a booklist Penny Bohlen was kind enough to send. 
Not all of the books are completely in the McDaniels mode, but they all have 
elements which might appeal to these readers.
