Life is a journey. In this journey, we experience so many of life’s pivotal moments, especially while growing up. There is something special about a road trip story. It’s a metaphor for the journey of our lives and can be filled with so many experiences and moments.
When young Greer embarks on a cross-country road trip with her father, the cemetery worker, to deliver the ashen remains of Will, she discovers things about herself, her father, and the world she lives in. In true coming-of-age fashion, she grows up most astonishingly and humorously.
