The characters face a demolition of love, a type of destruction that forces them to rebuild and, if they can, recoup their losses. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Whether from a failed marriage, a dead mother, or a fatal car crash, each story has some hope and redemption. There is humour too, when three kids cram into a straw-filled chicken coop to hide from an angry farmer, lighting up more than cigarettes. Or you'll find eighty-two-year-old Nora Allen escaping from the Florence Nightingale hospital, stealing a car, and ordering a Big Mac before continuing down the King George highway to her childhood home to search for her adopted son. Cooper Reynolds is an old widow who might remarry, but first, his estranged, druggie daughter comes home to save his life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e All fourteen stories shine some light on the darkness of the human condition, and in so doing, help us to better understand ourselves, our family, friends and maybe even our enemies. \u003ci\u003eDriving Crazy to the Front Door\u003c\/i\u003e takes us right up close to loss--not for self-pity or despair, but to offer hope, and reminds us of what it means to be human.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Foy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1773902040\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781773902043\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Linda Leith Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/03\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Michael Foy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49001117712639,"sku":"9781773902043","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/driving-crazy-to-the-front-michael-foy-9781773902043","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
