  • Meet
  • the
  • GrogansBefore
  • there
  • was
  • Marley,
  • there
  • was
  • a
  • gleefully
  • mischievous
  • boy
  • navigating
  • his
  • way
  • through
  • the
  • seismic
  • social
  • upheaval
  • of
  • the
  • 1960s.
  • On
  • the
  • one
  • side
  • were
  • his
  • loving
  • but
  • comically
  • traditional
  • parents,
  • whose
  • expectations
  • were
  • clear.
  • On
  • the
  • other
  • were
  • his
  • neighborhood
  • pals
  • and
  • all
  • the
  • misdeeds
  • that
  • followed.
  • The
  • more
  • young
  • John
  • tried
  • to
  • straddle
  • these
  • two
  • worlds,
  • the
  • more
  • spectacularly,
  • and
  • hilariously,
  • he
  • failed.
  • Told
  • with
  • Grogan's
  • trademark
  • humor
  • and
  • affection,
  • The
  • Longest
  • Trip
  • Home
  • is
  • the
  • story
  • of
  • one
  • son's
  • journey
  • into
  • adulthood
  • to
  • claim
  • his
  • place
  • in
  • the
  • world.
  • It
  • is
  • a
  • story
  • of
  • faith
  • and
  • reconciliation,
  • breaking
  • away
  • and
  • finding
  • the
  • way
  • home
  • again,
  • and
  • learning
  • in
  • the
  • end
  • that
  • a
  • family's
  • love
  • will
  • triumph
  • over
  • its differences.
