Ben Reeves
Book - 2026

"A short, exquisitely moving novel about finding beauty, hope, and meaning in the brevity of life, as narrated by the one who knows it best: Death. Travis is Death in the modern world. He wears jeans and a t-shirt and lives in a small, grey town. His job is to offer people comfort in their final hours of life. He's stoic, gentle, and alittle naive, despite everything he knows. He's young and handsome,despite who he is. Each death he witnesses is meaningful to him; helistens, never judges, and most importantly, never tries to change anyone's fate. He knows that every living creature's life must eventually end to maintain the balance of the universe. He respects the cycle. Then he meets Dalia, a midwife, and her boisterous eight-year-old daughter Layla, who live across the hall. As Dalia and Layla come to embrace Travis, he finds it more and more difficult to maintainthe detachment that's allowed him to function for so long. Their time together teaches him what's truly important in life-and what might be irrevocably lost in death. Written with radiant warmth, wisdom,and compassion, Everything Was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt is a timeless story about appreciating life, accepting its end, and finding our place in the universe-especially when it feels most impossible-that will resonate with anyone who has ever loved and lost or worried at time's passing"--
