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\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaul Karasik'\u003c\/b\u003es work has appeared in \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eNickelodeon\u003c\/i\u003e magazine.
