Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The Pulitzer prize-winning journalist and author of "All Over but the Shoutin'" now takes a look beyond the headlines for extraordinary tales of ordinary people and their life struggles.

Book News Annotation:

Some 60 of Pulitzer Prize winning reporter Bragg's articles, mostly written for the New York Times. The articles cover victims of natural disasters, prison inmates, economic inequality, the elderly, race, Louisiana bayou culture, schools, and other issues of the American scene (including three articles on former Alabama governor George Wallace and seven stories on Susan Smith—the Carolina woman accused of drowning her children after alleging a Black carjacker kidnapped them).
