Synopsis
"An endearing and thought-provoking road odyssey." - Kirkus Reviews
"You will want to 'call shotgun' on this epic adventure . . . the teacher became the student . . . and the student became the teacher." - Scott Chesney, World-renowned motivational speaker, life coach, and consultant
At sixteen, Neil dreamed of learning to drive a manual car. His father, Ruchin, was at a crossroads, questioning his next steps in life. Neither could have imagined that a rusted, beat-up Acura Integra would become their greatest teacher. With just $5,000, no mechanical experience, and a wild idea, father and son embarked on a yearlong transformation-of the car, themselves, and their bond.
What began as a simple driving lesson turned into an epic 5,000-mile road trip to the highest paved road in the United States. Along the way, they faced unexpected challenges, breathtaking landscapes, and moments of raw connection. Through laughter, frustration, and detours, they discovered resilience, strength, and the unshakable power of family.
With every twist of the wrench and turn of the road, Neil and Ruchin learned what it truly means to rebuild-not just a car, but themselves. Buckle up-this unforgettable ride will stay with you long after the last page.
In India, the book will appear as: "Where the Highway Ends: A Father, a Son, and a Car that Rebuilt Them.
