Publisher's summary

August Shroeder, a burned-out teacher, has been sober since his 19-year-old son died. Every year he’s spent the summer on the road, but making it to Yellowstone this year means everything. The plan had been to travel there with his son, but now August is making the trip with Philip’s ashes instead. An unexpected twist of fate lands August with two extra passengers for his journey, two half-orphans with nowhere else to go.

What none of them could have known was how transformative both the trip - and the bonds that develop between them- would prove, driving each to create a new destiny together.

A good listen!

What did you love best about Take Me With You?

Loved taking the summer vacation with August, a recovering alcoholic, and the two boys. This one summer makes a lasting memory, life impacting change in all three characters who began as total strangers.

A pleasant surprise.

I loved this book! For me it hit close to home. It made me wish I had an August in my life growing up. The story is heart warming and heart wrenching and very life like.

The narrator is fantastic. It was easy to differentiate between the characters.

Give this book a read you won't be disappointed.

Too preachy.

I guess if you have an alcoholic in your life it would be a better read.

Wonderful!

Catherine Ryan Hyde’s books are so good. Her characters embody those of reality-most of us DO have problems. She chooses ones that are really unpleasant. Yet her characters, flawed as humans are, overcome tragedies, social issues, injustices, abuse, etc., in ways that are so much like real life and are inspirational. Good narration and writing in well descriptive settings make me love each book!
