"Leisure Seeker" by Michael Zadoorian

I have finally finished "The Girl Who Played With Fire" and am happy to be moving on.  It was a long book and full of serious content.  My brain was working on overload with the amount of characters I had to keep up with!

I am thrilled that my usual monthly book club is picking up again after taking the summer months off and "Leisure Seeker" is our August book.  As I write this I am loving the main character, Ella!  She is easy to like.  The thing is... the subject matter is quite sad.  Ella and John are an elderly couple travelling across the country in their Leisure Seeker for a last vacation together.  Ella has terminal cancer and John has Alzheimer's.  There are times when I'm reading that I forget these facts and just laugh at Ella's quick wit.  Her commentary about their marriage, their family and life is endearing.  She makes me smile. 

Ella and John are normal, everyday American who are in the sunset of  their lives. However, they aren't giving up.  Their love for each other and life lead them onto Route 66 heading towards guess where?  Disneyland!

More Soon!
