After stumbling on a festival for rescued greyhounds, Rick Paar, psychologist and writer, goes on a road trip to find how to be happy. He discovers his answer among people he meets on the way: protesters at Crawford Texas, true believers at the UFO Museum, mundane life in Los Alamos home of the Manhattan Project, artists in a rundown town in New Mexico, and especially in the hard-earned lessons from a ruptured relationship with his son.
"In prose as lean and strong and graceful as a greyhound, Rick Paar works to understand human devotion. Sometimes funny, sometimes sweet, sometimes irreverent, sometimes deeply philosophical, God Bless America and Breakfast Burritos to Go is at its core a brilliant exploration of love ... and loneliness ... and what it means to be family."Related Subjects
