No writer in America has a better feel for the country’s rythms, richness, and rewards than bestselling author and syndicated columnist Bob Greene. With the color and depth of a novel, this treasury of best-loved columns captures America’s small triumphs and all-too-human tragedies as Greene travels across the country to tell the stories that don’t make the headlines. A small-town cop saves a child’s life by double-checking, on a hunch, a closed case of suspected abuse. Frank Sinatra, on his last concert tour, shares off-the-cuff wisdom about fame, craft, and shifting fortunes. An impoverished father gives his son the best trip he can — on the free trains out to the Atlanta airport’s boarding gates. Funny, gripping, heartrending, and exhilarating, these unforgettable stories are guaranteed to lift the spirit and stir the soul.
