Product Description |
For Katherine Givens and the four women about to become her best friends, the adventure begins with a UPS package. Inside is a pair of red sneakers filled with ashes and a note that will forever change their lives. Katherine’s oldest and dearest friend, the irrepressible Annie Freeman, left one final request–a traveling funeral–and she wants the most important women in her life as “pallbearers.”
From Sonoma to Manhattan, Katherine, Laura, Rebecca, Jill, and Marie will carry Annie’s ashes to the special places in her life. At every stop there’s a surprise encounter and a small miracle waiting, and as they whoop it up across the country, attracting interest wherever they go, they share their deepest secrets–tales of broken hearts and second chances, missed opportunities and new beginnings. And as they grieve over what they’ve lost, they discover how much is still possible if only they can unravel the secret Annie left them.... |

I feel vindicated |
|
A coworker of mine bought this book because she thought the cover art and back flap description looked promising. She lent it to me before she had read it and after 5 pages of Katherine mourning the loss of her favorite black bra, I was ready to give it back. I plodded along for about 60 or 70 pages and couldn't take it anymore. I didn't care for the author's flip flopping tense and I didn't have any compassion for these characters. This book is awful. I don't know what editor green lighted this book - but they need to be fired |

A "Must Read" |
|
I read this book because it sounded intriguing. I've recommended it to many people and sent it to a friend who could be a participant if I had my own "traveling funeral". It's funny,serious, heart-touching and very real. this is one of the very few books I'm keeping to reread. Please read it before the movie comes out, because it's the kind of book that will be made into a movie, and the book will be much better. book clubs will love it. |

What a let-down! |
After reading Radish's last book, "Dancing Naked..." I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book. What a let-down. I really feel I gave it a good try. I got through about 2/3 of the book, thinking it would get better. I just couldn't do it. Even through the beautifully written, poetic paragraphs, I found myself day-dreaming about what I was going to make for dinner, housework that I needed to get back to, etc...I just couldn't get into this book. I hate ditching books, but this was one that I don't regret putting on my bookshelf. I have to admit, it'll be on my garage sale table next spring.
