About this title

Review:

"Grogan's memoir of his journey for identity is akin to Barack Obama's Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance."--Library Journal

"John Grogan is more like Marley than he might want to believe. An affable, unassuming rabble-rouser, the author who penned a bestseller about his goofy dog gets up to some hilarious antics of his own ... The resulting story is full of humor [and] poignant scenes.--BookPage

"With his telltale humor and poignant observations about life and our humanity, John Grogan delivers another emotional wallop here. THE LONGEST TRIP HOME is a must read for anyone who has questioned their faith, sought to understand their identity, and loved their family. In other words, everyone."--Ann Hood, author of Comfort: A Journey Through Grief and The Knitting Circle

"From the author of Marley & Me (2005), this is an extraordinary memoir of estrangement and reconciliation."--Booklist

"Genuinely heartending. . .Grogan invests these events with deeply felt humanity and pathos."--Janet Maslin, New York Times

"Wry and witty. . . [a] full-hearted and worthy memoir."--Washington Post

"As he did in Marley, Grogan makes readers feel they have a seat at the family dinner table. He's now a nonpracticing Catholic, but here-to wonderful effect-he confesses all."--People

Book Description:

Following the phenomenal success of MARLEY & ME, John Grogan's memoir is a warm and moving tribute to the power of family and love which will delight John's fans and has all the ingredients to become the same word-of-mouth bestseller.
