Funeral that is a "Hoot"

What a way to go! This is funny, touching, and thought provoking. Our book club discussed it and what an interesting discussion--how do we want to be remembered, what is important to us etc. I felt the trip was a little long, maybe just two or three stops to scatter ashes.

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....
