These stories are specific to one legendary riverfront plateau and one boy's journey, but are emblematic of immigrant life and blue-collar aspirations during the heyday of American industry and its crash, foreshadowing one of the largest internal migrations in US history. Approximately six million baby boomers, like the narrator, fled the Rust Belt. Another six million remained and stories of their youth, struggles, and aspirations echo throughout this book.

Fascinating and Charming
Revisado: 05-14-16
A rare look into a world I never knew anything about, full of brilliant scenes and sensual descriptions of one curious boy-then-young-man torn between love and adventure in a tough steel town. The author (and surprisingly good narrator) lays out amazing historical accounts and facts, like that 6 million baby boomers left the Rust Belt, explaining why I know so many people from up there. In short, richly detailed chapters, I was laughing out loud AND getting teary. I almost got busted for listening at work. I'm giving it to everyone I know who wants a real story of what America is all about.

I loved getting this rare look into womens' military experience. Well told and written, if a bit heavy on training details.

One of New Jersey’s seemingly innumerable quiet seaside towns, Toms River became the unlikely setting for a decades-long drama that culminated in 2001 with one of the largest legal settlements in the annals of toxic dumping. A town that would rather have been known for its Little League World Series champions ended up making history for an entirely different reason: a notorious cluster of childhood cancers scientifically linked to local air and water pollution.

Even though this fine piece of environmental journalism is a horror story, I didn't shrink from it. Events and eras unfold in a compelling way.
