Publisher Notes

The Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist recalls his youth in the impoverished mountain region of Virginia, New Jersey suburbia, and Depression-shadowed Baltimore and details his mother's struggle to educate and make something of her family.

Media Reviews

"This mellow recollection of maturing amid crises reveals the truth of Proust's dictum that any writer's life can be seen as a preparation for his vocation."
