PUBLISHER'S BLURB: THE RIDE OF OUR LIVES is the humorous yet poignant account of NBC journalist Mike Leonard's cross-country camper trip with his elderly parents. But this is no ordinary road trip tale - rather, it's a jumping off point for a rich and wonderful journey into memory, family and home-grown wisdom. Leonard's parents are 'world-class eccentrics cut from the same bolt of Irish immigrant cloth'. Jack is a pathological optimist while Marge has a Ph.D. in pessimism. Married to each other for a lifetime, when they're not needling each other, they're laughing. 'That childish streak has helped keep the old wheels spinning,' says Leonard. 'But for how much longer? Their tread has worn dangerously thin. That's why I decided to drop everything, rent the RV, and give them the ride of their lives.' As the story unfolds, the four-week adventure turns into the journey of a lifetime. Along the way, his parents, in their own unique style, reminisce about their loves, their losses, and their rich and heartwarming (and sometimes heartbreaking) lives, sharing and arguing, laughing, crying - the bottom line is that family is what truly matters most. Mike Leonard tells a story which resonates with our own lives, with our own family - and he helps us to appreciate the positive influences and subtleties that are passed down from one generation to the next, sometimes without us really noticing.
