A profoundly moving experience.” —Ann Patchett\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Deeply human...a beautifully quiet and devastating book.” —Sarah Jessica Parker\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA triumphantly life-affirming road trip novel about marriage, middle-age, and a man at a crossroads in his life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Tom Layward’s wife had an affair twelve years ago, he resolved to leave her as soon as his youngest child left the nest. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo, 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, The Rest of Our Lives is a story about what to do when the rest of your life is only just the beginning of your story.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ABCchapters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45899634049077,"sku":"BS-L295-9781668231562","price":28.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0719\/0973\/6501\/files\/9781668231562_7f010.jpg?v=1786837904","url":"https:\/\/www.abcchapters.com\/products\/bestsellers-9781668231562","provider":"ABCchapters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
