Synopsis
"Part road odyssey, part coming-of-age tale, King's novel achieves the exact right balance of humor, redemption, and reconciliation." -Booklist
James King's acclaimed debut novel is a rich multigenerational saga that soars with compassion and insight into the pain and joy of family life. Confronted with a diagnosis that threatens his most cherished memories, Bill Warrington-a monumentally stubborn ex-Marine-hatches a daring scheme to grab the attention of his three grown children and patch up their differences. April, his fifteen-year-old granddaughter, wants nothing so much as to become a rock star on the West Coast, making her the perfect-and perfectly willing-abductee on a cross- country trip. With the panorama of America as its backdrop, their adventure becomes an unforgettable journey of discovery and atonement.

From AudioFile
When Bill Warrington's granddaughter, April, runs away from home and turns up at his house, the elderly man and teenage girl take off on a road trip. She hopes for musical stardom while he hopes for a family reconciliation. Joe Barrett narrates with a gravelly tone that's a perfect match for the gruff Bill's voice and thoughts. With only a small shift, Barrett gives April a cynical teen voice. Along the way, Bill's disintegrating mental state and April's increasing concern for him are brought to life in Barrett's voice. The dysfunctional characters feel familiar at times, but Barrett and King keep the interest going in this family drama. J.A.S. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
