{"product_id":"road-trip-detour-9798765261415","title":"Road Trip Detour","description":"Road Trip Detour: Exploring Life's Journey by Chaplain Rich Miller-Murphy shares his early and mid-life struggles with mental health after losing his partner of 10 years to AIDS, his mother to pancreatic cancer, and his grandfather to heart surgery complications in 1990-91, and subsequently learning of his own illnesses. At the time, he led a double life afraid to share his own sexuality for fear of discrimination and what effect the truth might have on his career. Family support and love coming from friends, and work colleagues helped him through two inpatient psychiatric hospitalizations over forty years ago. Life changed immeasurably in his late forties and early fifties with his same sex marriage in 2004 and the birth of double miracle twins in 2007 using a gestational carrier. Road Trip Detour shows that life's challenges can lead to a meaningful and purposeful life by having a positive outlook and accepting help when you need it most. The book is authentic, sensitive, and sometimes shocking from beginning to end.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Balboa Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/21\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798765261415\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 8.50w x 0.56d","brand":"Richard Martin Miller-Murphy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53240089018549,"sku":"9798765261415","price":31.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/9798765261415.jpg?v=1788975399","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/road-trip-detour-9798765261415","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
