This is a wonderful story that revolves around the death of a woman named Annie. Radish's portrayal of the characters makes you wish you were one of Annie's friends, on the funeral journey. It's a tender story of friendship with plenty of humor. It's a "life changing" book for me.
This is one of the best books I have read in a long time. It makes you want to grab your best friends and go on a road trip! This is a quick read because you don't want to put it down.
This is a wonderful book. I laughed and cried. I loved it so much I came back to Overstock and ordered all the other books written by her that were in stock. I also got another one of these for my friend. You won't be disappointed.

Radish's latest overwrought book (after Dancing Naked at the Edge of Dawn) tracks five strangers- turned-soul mates over the course of the titular funeral, posthumously organized by their friend Annie, who died from ovarian cancer at age 56. A package arrives at Katherine Givens's front door and in it are the ashes of her free-spirited, altruistic childhood friend, along with instructions for a procession that will take Annie's closest friends on a cross country trip from Sonoma, Calif., to Manhattan, sprinkling her remains as they go. Just nine days later, Annie's former university colleague Jill, women's crisis savior Laura, cantankerous neighbor Rebecca and her hospice aide Marie join Katherine on the journey during which they learn their eccentric friend's deepest secrets and share many of their own. Most importantly, these unorthodox urnbearers understand the greatness Annie saw in them and attain the courage to act on it. Windswept melodrama marks Radish's prose (e.g. "these moments were the ones Marie needed to keep the tears and gashes in her own soul from washing her out to sea"), but that will not deter readers who relish the idea of women forming bonds when their mettle is tested and finding power and self-actualization in grief, sharing and love.
