Lori's grandmother, who had been a stable influence in her life the past three years, dies suddenly. Her will requests that her remains be scattered near "things that grow" with a list of ideal gardens. Lori sets off with her Uncle Seth and best friend/crush Chris to distribute the remains. Lori also explores her relationship with her mother, who seems to bounce from location to location and boyfriend to boyfriend.

I liked this story. I thought it had some interesting things to say about grief and families, especially the idea of "second-chance parenting."
