A late-night family poker game spirals into a fog-driven duel. A thug from an old black-and-white rerun crawls out of the television. A housekeeper transforms into an avenging angel. A broken plate signals a terrible change in the family that none of them can prevent...until it's too late. \u003cbr\u003e This groundbreaking work was excerpted in \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e for its ability to honestly, eloquently, and respectfully set forth what life is like with autism in the family. What sets \u003ci\u003eThe Ride Together\u003c\/i\u003e apart is its combination of imagination and realism  its vision of a family's inner world  with David at the center.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Washington Square Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47014612697328,"sku":"9780743423373","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780743423373_p0.jpg?v=1763629024","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780743423373","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
