How Much Longer: One Family's Journey Through Two Years of Hell, Healing, and Hilarity

By Mary Beth Earnheardt and Adam C. Earnheardt

Take any kid on a car ride longer than 5 minutes and you're bound to get the "how much longer" question. Like most families during COVID, the Earnheardts found themselves asking that question nearly every day for two years. How Much Longer is a collection of short essays, heart-warming reflections of the family's tragedies, twists and triumphs during the seemingly endless pandemic.
