The Leisure Seeker by Michael Zadoorian

Teaser Tuesdays, hosted by MizB, asks you to choose two sentences at random from your current read. Identify the author and title for readers.


"Mom, Dr. Tomaszewski thinks you should come home immediately."
"Oh, does he?" I say. "Well, tell Dr. Tom to mind his own damn business." (ch. 9)

Publisher's description:

"In Michael Zadoorian's The Leisure Seeker, the Robinas have shared a wonderful life for more than sixty years. Now in their eighties, Ella suffers from cancer and John has Alzheimer's. Yearning for one last adventure, the self-proclaimed "down-on-their-luck geezers" kidnap themselves from the adult children and doctors who seem to run their lives and steal away from home in suburban Detroit on a forbidded vacation of rediscovery.

With Ella as his vigilant copilot, John steers their '78 Leisure Seeker RV along the forgotten roads of Route 66 toward Disneyland in search of a past they're having a damned hard time remembering. Yet Ella is determined to prove that, when it comes to life, you can go back for seconds - even when everyone says you can't."
