This book put me on a roller coaster of emotions. Taken from the inside cover of the book. "John and Ella Robina have shared a wonderful life of more than fifty years." Ella has Cancer and John has Alzheimer's. Ella has had enough of hospitals, Doctors and their kids trying to find ways to make them comfortable in their illness. Ella decides to take a trip and follows the old Route 66 trail to Disneyland. The book reads as a journal on their road trip. I laughed, I cried and I feared for them throughout the whole book. I like Ella's spunk and the very real human emotion the Author Michael Zadoorian unfolds in this eye opening book about growing old.
