Sydney hates funerals (overlong programs, creepy corpses, warbly singing). But she loves gooey, cheesy funeral potatoes. And these days, between her ward and neighborhood and extended family, it seems like thereâ€™s always a funeral for the Relief Society president to attend. Not fun occasions, of course, but not terribly traumatic eitherâ€”which is good, considering how crazy life is already with taking care of four little kids and one inactive brother. Ted is the lone black sheep amongst the blond-haired, blue-eyed OllerVanKeefers (rhymes with overachievers) and his lack of a testimony coupled with his lack of overall ambition has Syd concernedâ€”perhaps a bit too concerned, given how she sometimes prays for a not-too-serious car crash to shake him up a bit. But when a real crisis hits the family and Syd sees the shadowy side of picture-perfect happiness, she realizes that sheâ€™s been praying for the wrong things, and that nobody needs to run faster than she has strengthâ€”even if (especially if) youâ€™re a former all-state track star. ,Youâ€™ll laugh out loud with this enchanting tale that will help you find the joy in your own less-than-perfect family and in lifeâ€™s little comforts, like funeral potatoes.Â
