About this ebook
This dysfunctional family road trip is on the spectrum and definitely off the beaten path...On this trip an emotionally detached prodigy encounters eccentric others who's courage to live as they choose help him validate his own life. But none end up being as path-altering for him as his own immediate family. There are many lessons along the way. The most important being that wherever there is motion, there is bound to be friction, and within this lies the secret to wisdom and the strength to break free.
. . .
In this bumpy cross-country road trip an emotionally detached prodigy and his dysfunctional family encounter a quirky cast of characters including a mobster uncle, a channeling aunt, a Native American healer, and a depressed punker who has read The Bell Jar five times. A unique and deftly crafted novel, in addition to its adult audience, Friction in Motion has also been unreservedly recommended for high school and community library YA Fiction collections. --MidWest Book Review, Children's Book Watch, James A. Cox, Editor-in-Chief, Diane Donovan, Editor
. . .
Friction in Motion is a powerful narrative and one I would gladly share with adults, young adults, and even the educators I teach from time to time. A well-written account full of life and character. --JD DeHart
