Longest Trip Home by John Grogan, ISBN 9780733623677

> Biography Books > General Books

Finding your place in the world can be the longest trip home... In MARLEY & ME, John Grogan perfectly described the love of a family for their wondrously neurotic dog. He made us laugh and cry, and showed how unconditional love can come in many forms. Now, in THE LONGEST TRIP HOME, John writes with the same honesty, openness and humour about the relationship between a boy and his parents. As a 'bad' boy in a good family, John didn't always live up to his parents' expectations, but as a man he came to understand the love they gave him every day of his life. At its heart, THE LONGEST TRIP HOME is a universal story about growing up, and making peace with your parents. As warm and moving as MARLEY & ME, this is a lyrical tribute to the power of family and love.
