The Leisure Seeker

What would you do if you were in your eighties, terminal with cancer, and married to a man suffering from dementia? Well, if you're Ella Robina the answer would be to withdraw yourself from treatment, pack-up into your old RV and point it west towards Disneyland.

Ella and her husband John travel old Route 66 on their journey west while their two children call them frantically begging them to return to home to their doctors, treatments, and interventions.


Michael Zadoorian's novel, The Leisure Seeker is one of those simple novels full of bittersweet pleasure that addresses the profound question, "What would you do?"
