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.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67391519850541,"sku":"WHS-1d423e72761f4faba3d69ce428dc391b","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_4ad6ffcb-5049-4e02-9413-1e1875567194.jpg?v=1787354984","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/rest-of-our-lives","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
