Now, while driving his college-bound daughter to Pittsburgh, he remembers his promise to himself. He is also on the run from his own health issues and a forced leave from work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e So, rather than returning to his wife in Westchester, Tom keeps driving west, with the vague plan of visiting people from his past--an old college friend, his ex-girlfriend, his brother, his son--en route, maybe, to California. He's moving towards a future he hasn't even envisioned yet while he considers his past and the choices he's made that have brought him to this particular present. Pitch-perfect, tender, and keenly observed, \u003ci\u003eThe Rest of Our Lives\u003c\/i\u003e is a story about what to do when the rest of your life is only just the beginning of your story.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"S\u0026S\/Summit Books","offers":[{"title":"The Rest of Our Lives | Ben Markovits | Hardcover | 9781668231562 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks R 1759053","offer_id":49192326234264,"sku":"1759053","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/812UgM2vM2L.jpg?v=1780517409","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/the-rest-of-our-lives-1","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
