<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Nick Hornby meets Chuck Palahniuk in this powerful, provocative, and heartfelt epistolary novel from New York Times bestselling and award-winning author J. Michael Straczynski. Life has other plans for a group of strangers who want to end it all on a cross-country road trip, but then bond in ways they never could have imagined"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><i><b>The Breakfast Club </b></i><b>meets </b><i><b>The Silver Linings Playbook </b></i><b>in this powerful, provocative, and heartfelt novel about twelve endearing strangers who come together to make the most of their final days, from </b><i><b>New York Times</b></i><b> bestselling and award-winning author </b><b>J. Michael Straczynski.</b></b> <p/>Mark Antonelli, a failed young writer looking down the barrel at thirty, is planning a cross-country road trip. He buys a beat-up old tour bus. He hires a young army vet to drive it. He puts out an ad for others to join him along the way. But this will be a road trip like no other: His passengers are all fellow disheartened souls who have decided that this will be their final journey--upon arrival in San Francisco, they will find a cliff with an amazing view of the ocean at sunset, hit the gas, and drive out of this world. <p/> The unlikely companions include a young woman with a chronic pain sensory disorder and another who was relentlessly bullied at school for her size; a bipolar, party-loving neo-hippie; a gentle coder with a literal hole in his heart and blue skin; and a poet dreaming of a better world beyond this one. We get to know them through access to their texts, emails, voicemails, and the daily journal entries they write as the price of admission for this trip. <p/> By turns tragic, funny, quirky, charming, and deeply moving, <i>Together We Will Go</i> explores the decisions that brings these characters together, and the relationships that grow between them, with some discovering love and affection for the first time. But as they cross state lines and complications to the initial plan arise, it becomes clear that this is a novel as much about the will to live as the choice to end it. The final, unforgettable moments as they hurtle toward the decisions awaiting them will be remembered for a lifetime.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Sad, thoughtful and humane, filled with vivid characters, <i>Together we Will Go</i> is a hymn to life and a meditation on suffering." --Catriona Ward, bestselling author of <i>The Last House on Needless Street</i><br><br>"J.
