The beloved author of Dancing Naked at the Edge of Dawn returns with
the story of five women who had nothing in common but one extraordinary
friend. . . .
"Move over, Thelma, and make way, Louise! Annie Freeman's raucous and
heart-tugging journey to eternity will put Kris Radish on the map--in a
RED Cadillac!"--Jacquelyn Mitchard, author of The Deep End of the
Ocean
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. . . .
