  <default-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&amp;#8217;s oldest and dearest friend, the irrepressible Annie Freeman, left one final request&amp;#8211;a traveling funeral&amp;#8211;and she wants the most important women in her life as &amp;#8220;pallbearers.&amp;#8221;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;From Sonoma to Manhattan, Katherine, Laura, Rebecca, Jill, and Marie will carry Annie&amp;#8217;s ashes to the special places in her life. At every stop there&amp;#8217;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&amp;#8211;tales of broken hearts and second chances, missed opportunities and new beginnings. And as they grieve over what they&amp;#8217;ve lost, they discover how much is still possible if only they can unravel the secret Annie left them....</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[Probably my favorite fiction read of the year (which also means of the decade since I've already read almost as much fiction in 2009 as in the last decade).  A fun &quot;chick&quot; read which someone at book group said sounded like a multi-cache funeral procession that goes around the country with ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/52865944">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The notion of a traditional funeral is thrown out the window.  100% of us will die.  This book seems to give permission to think outside the box.  In doing so, support in the death of a friend can be found in this unusual situation.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I just finished this book today and what a let down.  I loved this book up until about page 200 when it got a little to far fetched even for my &quot;chick-lit&quot; loving self.  I mean really, who starts a congo line at an airport where passengers are stranded due to a storm???

    <body><![CDATA[This book was filled to the brim with too much She-Ra touchy feely woman power.  If the &quot;women are awesome automatically&quot; vibe were a bit more understated, I might've actually liked it.
