Down the Road

Born just months apart, Kenny Rennell and Linda Celli had no idea their lives would eventually intertwine as they grew up on streets perpendicular to each other during the fifties. Linda was sheltered, lacked independence, and had strict parents. Kenny was street wise, cared for his sisters, and was self-sufficient. When their paths eventually crossed on the front porch of Kenny's next-door neighbor, they were initially friends-until a significant moment years later when sparks flew. In a touching memoir, Linda shares snapshots of the various phases of their life together from their first date, to their eventual marriage and birth of their children, the founding of a business, and her determination to carve a new path for herself. While sharing insight into how they created a calm and loving life together, Linda reveals how she and Kenny worked hard to live the American dream and be happy while fulfilling their bucket list, embracing every adventure, and proving that resilience always pays off. Included are poignant reflections from their children and grandchildren. Down the Road is the true story of two high school sweethearts as they built a family business and endured life's challenges.
