The Highway of Spirit and Bone
by Steven Ostrowski
The novel is about complex family dynamics, the kinds of things that can go seriously wrong on long road trips, and, ultimately, about forgiveness and love.
David has reluctantly agreed to drive his mother, Lilly, from her longtime home on Staten Island to Flagstaff, Arizona. Jeanette, Lilly’s youngest daughter, wants to go on this trip, too, even though she and David tend to bicker a lot.
Along the highways of America, David, Lilly and Jeanette encounter people and situations that are sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant, and sometimes dangerous.
Furthermore, David has reason to fear that back at home, his wife may be enamored of a handsome, divorced neighbor who’s been visiting the house with noticeable frequency since David left.
