“Blown. Away. Luke Russert’s story of heartbreaking loss and hard-earned self-discovery captivates from start to finish. This is the memoir of the year, if not the decade.”
—ELIN HILDERBRAND, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Summer of ’69
“A rich and compelling account of family, grief, and coming of age. Luke Russert turns tragedy into rich lessons of life.”
—TOM BROKAW, legendary journalist and author of The Greatest Generation
“In Look for Me There, Luke Russert traverses terrain both physical and deeply personal. In his journey to some of the world’s most stunning destinations, he visits the internal places of grief, family, faith, ambition, and purpose—with intense self-reflection, honesty, and courage.”
—SAVANNAH GUTHRIE,
coanchor of Today
“A beautiful, well-written story of a young man coming into his own, finding his faith, and understanding his purpose.”
—MARIA SHRIVER, acclaimed journalist and founder of the Sunday Paper
“One book, two remarkable and compelling journeys. Luke Russert puts to the test—and beyond any doubt validates—his perhaps unrivaled storytelling DNA. . . . A colorful, insightful, and meticulously detailed travel diary that transports the reader to some of the world’s most intriguing cities, hidden corners, and fascinating cultures. And with those travels comes a mourning son’s poignant and brutally honest personal journey: to process devastating loss and grief, to wrestle with his sense of self and place, with questions of faith and family—and, ultimately, to balance the burden of expectations with the freedom of picking his own path.”
—JOHN KING, CNN chief national correspondent and host of Inside Politics
“This starts as the story of one father and one son, and soon grows into something much deeper and more profound: a meditation on loss and grief, a search for home, a journey to find a missing hero that leads the author finally back to himself.
It is Luke Russert’s story, but in the end, the main character is you, the reader.”
—WRIGHT THOMPSON, senior writer for ESPN and the bestselling author of Pappyland and The Cost of These Dreams
