Overview

Next Stop is the universal story of how children grow up and parents learn to let go--no matter how difficult it may be for both of them. The summer David Finland was twenty-one, he and his mother rode the Washington, D.C., metro trains. Every day. The goal was that if David could learn the train lines, maybe David could get a job. And then maybe he could move out on his own. And then maybe his parents' marriage could get the jump-start it craved. Maybe. Next Stop is a candid portrait of a differently-abled young man poised at the entry to adulthood. It recounts the complex relationship between a child with autism and his family, as he steps out into the real world alone for the first time, and how his autism affects everyone who loves him.

This is not a romance, or even just a heart-warmer. It's a real love story, frank and particular. If you don't like it, you don't like love. --Roy Blount, Jr.
