“Warmly observed in Richard D. Bank’s incandescent prose, this
touching book is more than a bus ride. Part fiction, part family
memoir, it is a journey of the spirit,a journey into the America of
the 1930’s; a journey into the heart of a Jewish family that might
be any family.” --Harry Ringel, author of Shemhazai’s Game and
The Phantom of Skid Row.

THE SHIP TO AMERICA
“In June of 1933, sixteen-year-old Lou Bank was living in Los Angeles with an aunt and uncle
after his family had moved back to Philadelphia so he could complete high school. One day
he was summoned by relatives and given the money needed to purchase a one-way ticket to
board a bus destined for Philadelphia where his father lay gravely ill. With all his
worldly possessions stuffed into a tattered suitcase and six dollars in his pocket, Lou
hoped the six-day trip would leave enough time to reach his father while he was still
alive. The Bus Ride is a tale based on a true story that traverses the length and
breadth of the country and while it is primarily Lou's story and that of his family, it
is also an account of a populace rich in its diversity, inhabiting a multifarious milieu in
America during the early twentieth century.”
