About this title

Review:

Bob Greene, syndicated columnist for the Chicago Tribune, offers tales from the road, dozens of short pieces in which he discovers the America that doesn't make the nightly news. The stories he tells are mostly heartwarming, though they're not without sad aspects. An unwed mother forced to drop out of high school returns 20 years later to graduate, baseball great Stan Musial reflects on his beloved game, an elderly mother and daughter share a room in a nursing home. Greene has a notable gift for finding good stories and for telling them without much adornment in clear, crisp prose.
