Format: Hardcover (Cloth)
Price:
$22.95
Published: Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill, 2007

"A powerful memoir from an extraordinary craftsman. Wielding chapters like wood chisels, paragraphs like a carpenter's plane, and words like a fine-grained sandpaper, the author lays bare a history of family secrets concealed under a well-polished veneer. Goolrick's writing evokes the elegance of Truman Capote and the earthiness of Rick Bragg." --Joe Drabyak, Chester County Book & Music Company, West Chester, PA
