About this ebook
Kevin is an accomplished sports and entertainment executive that has placed his career advancement before family and friends for too long. He receives devastating news just before he is to embark on a trip with three of his closest friends. A diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is about to turn his life upside down. If he’s lucky he’ll squeeze another year out of his forty-three year old body. Leaving his wife Lisa and their two little girls, Lynnie and Reilly, is the terrifying thought that Kevin can’t shake. He decides to proceed with the reunion trip with the goal of sharing his agonizing prognosis with his best friends believing that they will provide him with the advice and encouragement he needs to face his family and prepare for the fight of his life.
What was to be a celebration commemorating a similar trip taken twenty years ago after college graduation turns into a roller coaster ride of emotions as Kevin learns that each of his friends is also harboring a life-changing secret of their own. Nolan, the finance whiz, Frank the attorney and Sal the auto parts salesman aren’t immune to bad luck either. None of their lives are quite as they seem and the tremendous burdens that each of them are carrying are about to surface. The two weeks on the road that these men share together tests their friendship, resolve and the will to carry on with lives that will be changed forever.
