The Longest Trip Home
John Grogan, author of the bestselling Marley and Me, has done it again with his memoir of growing up in Detroit, Michigan, the son of an auto worker. The book describes his exploits as a young Catholic altar boy, rebellious teen, young reporter and family man. The chapters are divided into three sections: growing up, breaking away, and coming home. The last section is especially poignant as he deals with the reality of his dying father and his own mortality.
