Latest update: The Ride Home is now #2 in the Kindle Store in books about WaterSports!! ATTENTION READERS!! All readers please read this book cover to cover. It is a page turner! The Ride Home is the Kindle BestSelling debut novel by Jacob Ray. In this racy page turner, Ray takes us through the excruciating grieving process of a young, drug-addicted Psychology Intern after the death of his best friend, the surf king of Ocean Beach. The protagonist, Chance Feinman, and his motley crew of friends, all addicts to both nightlife and surfing the huge waves of San Francisco, ride the waves of misery in the downward spiral of bereavement and further loss, as many of the original group of friends taper off into insanity. The tone to this novel is dark, the language is definitely a frightening glimpse into a tortured inner monologue most addicts have after years of self-destruction. Ray forces the reader to face the ugly, unspeakable suffering that addicts accept as the norm the deeper and further they go into their self-deprecating behavior. The story contains beautiful passages about surfing, the nightlife of San Francisco's Sunset District and surf culture, and the reader is taken all over the globe with storylines that are based in Kyoto, Japan, and Vietnam. A cast of unforgettable characters tell their deepest and darkest secrets in this 273 page, gripping story. Ray is the step-son of writer Pat Conroy and the son of writer Cassandra King, guess who influenced him to write? Don't miss this potential best seller at a price sure to rise as the wave of popularity sweeps over the surfing world! Ride that wave, and take the Ride home all the way to your heart!
