Traveling Light by Lynne Branard was inspired by real-life events: when the author was working at a hospice agency, an unclaimed box of ashes—with her agency’s business card attached—was discovered in a storage facility. Branard became intrigued by how the remains of someone could get lost—and how the discovery could be the perfect catalyst for a life change.

From the New York Times bestselling author and masterful
storyteller * behind The Art of
Arranging Flowers comes a new
novel about the search for what really matters in life...Driving from North Carolina to New Mexico with her three-legged dog, a strange man s ashes, and a waitress named Blossom riding shotgun isn t exactly what Alissa Wells ever wanted to be doing. But it s exactly what she needs...
It all starts when Alissa impulsively puts a bid on an abandoned storage unit, only to become the proud new owner of Roger Hart s remains. Two weeks later, she jumps in her car and heads west, thinking that returning the ashes of a dead man might be the first step on her way to a new life.
She isn’t wrong.
Especially when Blossom, who just graduated from high school, hitches a ride with her to Texas, and Alissa has to get used to letting someone else take the wheel. Posting about their road trip on Facebook, complete with photos of Roger at every stop, Blossom opens Alissa s eyes to the road in front of her and to how sometimes the best things in life are the ones you never see coming.
