Before therewas Marley, there was a gleefully mischievous boy growing up in a devout Catholic home outside Detroit in the 1960s and '70s. Despite his loving parents' best efforts, John's attempts to meet their expectations failed spectacularly. The Longest Trip Home is a book for any son or daughter who ahssought to forge an identity at odds with their parents', and for every parentwho as struggled to understand the values of their children. With his trademark blend of humor and pathos that made Marley & Me beloved by millions, John Grogan traces the individual journey each of us must take to find our unique place in the world.
