Inhaltsangabe
Like life, this book does not happen in a straight line. Spanning generations and a tumultuous century, the Spencer family saga is the ultimate American ride, a journey beginning with a patriarch's dream forged on the battlefields of World War I Italy and carried to the heart of twentieth-century America. From a humble Hoboken delicatessen, the family dynasty rises to become Cosmopolitan Cars, a powerful Manhattan limousine empire built by the brilliant but tormented Ben Spencer Jr. But the family empire is built on a lie: Ben Jr.'s hidden sexuality, a secret that will ultimately demand a staggering price. The weight of this deception proves catastrophic for his twin children, Eli and Connie, igniting a chain of events from their mother's tragic suicide to Eli's own battles with addiction and identity. As their private drama unfolds, it collides with American history when a troubled Eli must chauffeur Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in a legendary Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman. The civil rights icon calls it "the ride of my life," a phrase that mirrors Eli's own harrowing journey toward redemption. From hidden mob ties to wrenching personal struggles set against the defining backdrops of the Civil Rights and Gay Liberation movements, the Spencers' story is woven into the seismic social changes of their time. Ride of Your Life is a sweeping, unforgettable chronicle of the American dream, the corrosive power of secrets, and the staggering price one family pays to secure its dynasty.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
A San Francisco resident for over three decades, this new novelist brings the meticulous eye of a retired technology program manager to the art of storytelling. Darwin has channeled analytical skill and life experience into a richly textured work of fiction that captures both the intimate struggles of the Spencer family and the broader sweep of American social transformation.
