A late-night family poker game spirals into a fog-driven duel. A thug from an old black-and-white rerun crawls out of the television. A housekeeper transforms into an avenging angel. A broken plate signals a terrible change in the family that none of them can prevent...until it's too late. \u003cbr\u003e This groundbreaking work was excerpted in \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e for its ability to honestly, eloquently, and respectfully set forth what life is like with autism in the family. What sets \u003ci\u003eThe Ride Together\u003c\/i\u003e apart is its combination of imagination and realism -- its vision of a family's inner world -- with David at the center.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Karasik, Judy Karasik\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0743423372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780743423373\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atria Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/14\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.94w x 0.51d","brand":"Paul Karasik","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990305636607,"sku":"9780743423373","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b96c6a6d-cf2c-4e64-87a6-cd5084315e69.jpg?v=1683304033","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-ride-together-paul-karasik-9780743423373","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
