Summary

This is a unique, coming-of-age road trip featuring a feisty, often salty, and insensitive senior citizen, who still has some coming-of-age to experience in his twilight years.

It is the final ride of a lifetime that involves a most unusual cast of characters - a smart, streetwise stripper named Destiny with a soft heart beneath her hardened demeanor; Sammy’s musician son Barry, who longs to rekindle the magic of his old recording and touring act, the Chosen, while keeping tabs on his wayward dad and helping his career-minded daughter Wendy; an array of despicable street thugs; and one very special urn on which this book turns...containing the ashes of Sammy's late wife Esther, whose posthumous presence is central to the novel’s unfolding mystery.

On one level, this is a story that takes listeners on a wild, raucous journey through the gritty and dangerous streets of New Orleans and into Sammy Levine's complex past as he tries to make amends for shortcomings in his life and a lingering guilt that drives him to make a daring break from his nursing home and embark on the adventure of a lifetime - even as his life nears an end.
