Abridged Audiobook
A very enjoyable book. Highly recommended to anyone in the flyover states (people from either coast would not 'get it').
Perry is a thoughtful writer who takes his time to weave his story. His narratives can make one laugh out loud or bring one to tears. Growing up in a small town in the midwest always seemed to be a liability until I read these essays.
I loved this book! It wasn't anything like I expected. Michael Perry is a wonderful story teller. His metaphors are perfect - painting a picture. His humor is great too! Enjoy!
I really enjoyed this reading. If you are small town Fire/EMS you can relate all-too-well to many of his stories. Michael will make you laugh and make you cry; and remind you why you volunteered to begin with.
