His father, Colin, is a screenwriter. Both are adept at spinning fictions, a skill passed down to them by McPhee patriarch Alistair, whose wild yarns never failed to capture Finn's youthful imagination--even as they cast a fragile veil over a past marked by devastating loss, unbearable love, and an incessant longing for a life whose heroic proportions could measure up to the breathtakingly vivid color of Alistair's dreams. As Finn embarks on a road trip across America with his best friend, Randal, and a three-legged cat named Mrs. Dalloway in a last-chance bid to make his grandfather's dreams come true, he will finally learn that the truth, though not always stranger than fiction, can sometimes make the best story of all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGinder, Grant:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eGrant Ginder\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eThis Is How It Starts\u003c\/i\u003e.
