Book Review 1: Michael Pickett's marvelous collection of Tales are
sometimes hilarious, sometimes somber. The Tales are always genuine
and beautifully written as this talented scribe records his
adventures straddling two very different chapters of the American
Experience. -- Dr. David Wood Author, Reviewer, Former Vice
President of the National Book Critics Circle, and Books Editor,
Mpls Star & Tribune

surprising anecdotes, compellingly crafted and ranging in topics

by Pickett's ability to mix humor with vivid descriptions and
insight into the bigger picture. -- Book editor, Cecelia MacDonald,
