11 Books About Road Trips to Fuel Your Wanderlust

"Mrs. Nash's Ashes" ($11, originally $17)

Death is a major part of "Mrs. Nash's Ashes," but this sweet novel is really about how vital love is to life. A romantic at heart, Millicent promises her elderly best friend, Rose, that she'll reunite her with a past love. She treks to Florida to deliver Rose's ashes before her lover dies in hospice. On the way, Millicent is forced to hitch a ride with Hollis, an insufferable acquaintance who doesn't believe in her quest (or love at all).
