Driving Dad Home

"In this funny, sad, challenging and loving saga, author John Halter embarks on a mission to rescue his 96-year-old father, Russ, from an impossible situation in a Phoenix trailer park. Russ, a Depression-era farm boy, World War II Navy veteran, and retired heavy-equipment salesman, is slowly succumbing to dementia, and he doesn't want to leave. Halter soon learns that the best way to coax his dad to cooperate is to get him talking about the past, and their multi-day trip across the western landscape becomes an extended reminiscence about the rich family they shared and the misunderstandings they were never able to overcome."--
