Synopsis
A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist's account of making his way in the world, from a humble beginning in poverty-stricken rural Alabama to international fame as a "New York Times" reporter.
Industry Reviews
"...[M]uch of the story is compelling in and of itself, and worth hearing. The first half of the book portrays Bragg's mother as a beautiful and heartbroken woman....Here some of the most tender scenes appear, scenes in which the writing is momentarily stripped of itself, letting breathe beautiful, if brief, instants of perfect clarity and depth."
New York Times - Bret Lott (09/11/1997)
"[Bragg's] memoir is a model of humility combined with pride in one's accomplishments."
Pinsker
"Rick Bragg has written the kind of book that causes us to see ourselves more clearly because it corrects and heightens our vision, and through this vision we see for the first time the humanity of others and are able to imagine, if only for a moment, that unbridgeable divides can somehow, because of what we have learned we have in common, be surmounted."
