  <description><![CDATA[Everything seems just perfect in Grace`s life. She`s got a great job, a lovely house, a handsome boyfriend – and she`s pretty happy with it all. <br/><br/>Except that Grace has got a secret. She has a family. One she ran away from when life got too tough. Not to mention John, the only man she ever truly loved, who she left behind as well. <br/><br/>So when her sister finally tracks her down – to announce that their estranged father is in hospital – Grace has to make a decision. She can stay in the safe little world she`s carved out for herself, or she can go home. To face the music. But going home really isn`t as easy as it seems. Especially when the music seems to be playing a funeral march, her siblings are beyond furious with her, and their father`s second wife is behaving very strangely indeed…. <br/><br/>A FIELD GUIDE TO BURYING YOUR PARENTS is a heartbreakingly funny story about life, loss and what it really means to come home.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[Everything seems just perfect in Grace`s life. She`s got a great job, a lovely house, a handsome boyfriend – and she`s pretty happy with it all. <br/><br/>Except that Grace has got a secret. She has a family. One she ran away from when life got too tough. Not to mention John, the only man she ever truly loved, who she left behind as well. <br/><br/>So when her sister finally tracks her down – to announce that their estranged father is in hospital – Grace has to make a decision. She can stay in the safe little world she`s carved out for herself, or she can go home. To face the music. But going home really isn`t as easy as it seems. Especially when the music seems to be playing a funeral march, her siblings are beyond furious with her, and their father`s second wife is behaving very strangely indeed…. <br/><br/>A FIELD GUIDE TO BURYING YOUR PARENTS is a heartbreakingly funny story about life, loss and what it really means to come home.]]>

    <![CDATA[Grace Hawkes has not spoken to her previously tight-knit family since her mother's sudden death five years ago. Well, most of the family was tight-knit-- her father walked out on them when she was 13 and she and her two brothers and sister bonded together even closer with their mother as a result.<br/><br/>She's been doing her best to live her new life apart from them, but when their estranged father has a stroke and summons them, Grace suddenly realizes she's done the same thing he had done...abandoned those who need her most. <br/><br/>And need her they do, for inside the hospital walls, a strange war is unfolding between the pseudo-kindly woman who is their father's second wife and the rest of the original Hawkes clan.  Upon reconnecting with her brother and sisters, Grace will find a part of herself she thought was lost forever. As they unravel the manipulative deception of the second Mrs. Hawkes,  Grace will finally be able to stand up for her family-- and to remember what a family is, even after all these years.]]>

    <![CDATA[Everything seems just perfect in Grace`s life. She`s got a great job, a lovely house, a handsome boyfriend – and she`s pretty happy with it all. <br/><br/>Except that Grace has got a secret. She has a family. One she ran away from when life got too tough. Not to mention John, the only man she ever truly loved, who she left behind as well. <br/><br/>So when her sister finally tracks her down – to announce that their estranged father is in hospital – Grace has to make a decision. She can stay in the safe little world she`s carved out for herself, or she can go home. To face the music. But going home really isn`t as easy as it seems. Especially when the music seems to be playing a funeral march, her siblings are beyond furious with her, and their father`s second wife is behaving very strangely indeed…. <br/><br/>A FIELD GUIDE TO BURYING YOUR PARENTS is a heartbreakingly funny story about life, loss and what it really means to come home.]]>
