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. 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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ben Markovits\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1668169517\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781668169513\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster Audio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/13\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e CD","brand":"Ben Markovits","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":47520884359423,"sku":"9781668169513","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fbdd4a6a-c723-4080-a4da-bfa811649691.jpg?v=1762887562","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-rest-of-our-lives-ben-markovits-9781668169513","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
