NATIONAL BESTSELLER Middle-aged brothers Jason and Tom Prendergast
thought they were completely done with each other. Perceived betrayal
had burned the bridge between them, tossing them into the icy river of
estrangement. But life - and death - has a robust sense of irony, and
when they learn that their cruel father has died and made his final
request that they travel together across the country to spread his
ashes, they have no choice but to spend a long, long car trip in each
other's company. It's either that or lose out on the contents of the
envelope he's left with his lawyer. The trip will be as gut-wrenching as
each expects it to be . . . and revealing in ways neither of them is
prepared for. At turns humorous, biting, poignant, and surprisingly
tender, Ashes puts a new spin on family and dysfunction with a story
that is at once fresh and timelessly universal. This new edition
includes the short story "Lost," set in the world of Ashes.
