The Ride of Our Lives
is the humorous yet deeply moving account of NBC journalist Mike Leonard’s cross-country odyssey with his eccentric parents, three grown children, and a daughter-in-law. Full of ups and downs, laughs and tears, the month-long journey becomes a much larger tale of hope, persistence, and valuable lessons learned along the way. A celebration of the ties between parents and children, as well as the unforgettable community of people one can meet across America,
is an inspiring narrative of self-discovery and self-fulfillment–and how one unique family found blessings and simple pleasures on the road called life.
“Touching, hilarious . . . should be required reading in every family.”
–Tom Brokaw
“Poignant moments of questions and discovery, of truth-telling and memories.”
–The Charlotte Observer
“Often laugh-out-loud funny and sometimes heartbreakingly sad.”
–St. Louis Post-Dispatch
“Delightful.”
–Chicago Tribune
“Heartfelt and whimsical . . . a cross-country trek through life’s lessons . . . Mike Leonard is a storyteller at heart, and each anecdote . . . punctuates the family’s love, struggles, and triumphs. In short, this is one ride worth taking.”
