New book coming from `Marley & Me' author
NEW YORK (AP) -June 25, 2008 "The Longest Trip Home" will be released in October by William
Morrow, an imprint of HarperCollins, the publisher said in a
statement Tuesday.
"It is the powerful, often hilarious story of a son in the
making, and of growing up in a loving, but comically old-school
Catholic family," said the statement issued by Morrow. "From his
troublemaking childhood to his courtship of a fiery blonde named
Jenny, Grogan writes about how he came to terms with who he is and
what he believes."
"Even before `Marley & Me' was published, I knew this was the
story I wanted to tell next," Grogan, 51, said in a statement.
"`The Longest Trip Home' is a story very close to my heart."
A film version of "Marley & Me," starring Owen Wilson and
Jennifer Aniston, is slated for release in December.
