{"product_id":"the-longest-trip-home-a-memoir-1","title":"The Longest Trip Home: A Memoir","description":"“As he did in Marley, Grogan makes readers feel they have a seat at the family dinner table….4 stars.”\n—People\n\nJohn Grogan, author of the phenomenal #1 New York Times bestseller, Marley \u0026amp; Me, once again takes readers into his past, his memories, and his heart in The Longest Trip Home—a funny and poignant memoir of faith, family, and identity. A New York Times bestseller in its own right, The Longest Trip Home has earned glowing accolades from the critics (“Genuinely heartrending,” —New York Times “Wry and witty,” —Washington Post; “Entertaining, funny, and, best of all, always honest at its core,” —St. Louis Post-Dispatch). And, just as Marley \u0026amp; Me was more than simply “a dog book,” John Grogan’s Longest Trip is much, much more than your typical story of a boy’s coming-of-age.\n\nHow does a boy honor the parents he loves while breaking from the faith that defines them?\n\nA Coming-of-Age Story: From childhood pranks and first loves in 1960s suburban Detroit to forging an identity outside the confines of a loving but strict home. A Crisis of Faith: A deeply personal look at the struggle to reconcile a devout Catholic upbringing with the questions and doubts that come with growing older. A Heartwarming Family Memoir: Filled with the hilarious and heartfelt stories that made Marley \u0026amp; Me a beloved bestseller, this is a book for anyone who has ever loved, and been driven crazy by, their family. Aging Parents: A tender, unflinching portrait of the final years of his parents’ lives, and the journey of a son stepping into the role of caregiver for the father who always cared for him.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0061713309\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 31UI5600DB0U_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Grogan, John\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
