Will the kittens have one more important lesson to show their pal Marley?

John en Jenny nemen een puppy in huis. Hun leven zal nooit meer hetzelfde zijn. Marley groeit al snel uit tot een niet te stoppen vierenveertig kilo zware stoomwals van een labrador retriever. Hij stormt door hordeuren, steelt vrouwenlingerie en sieraden, en sloopt alles waar hij zijn tanden in kan zetten. Hoewel hij vaak de boel op stelten zet, zijn betuigingen van liefde zijn grenzeloos. Door alles heen blijkt hij een toonbeeld van standvastigheid, ook als de familie aan het eind van haar Latijn is. John Grogan brengt de hartverwarmende capriolen van de labrador tot leven en laat zien hoe een grote, recalcitrante hond een gezin leert wat echt belangrijk is in het leven.

Meet the Grogans Before there was Marley, there was a gleefully mischievous boy navigating his way through the seismic social upheaval of the 1960s. On the one side were his loving but comically traditional parents, whose expectations were clear. On the other were his neighborhood pals and all the misdeeds that followed. The more young John tried to straddle these two worlds, the more spectacularly, and hilariously, he failed. Told with Grogan's trademark humor and affection, The Longest Trip Home is the story of one son's journey into adulthood to claim his place in the world. It is a story of faith and reconciliation, breaking away and finding the way home again, and learning in the end that a family's love will triumph over its differences.
