One of the Best

This is one of those books that sneaks into your mind and lodges under the table only to peak out every once in a while to remind you of what a great childhood yours was and how it affected your adulthood. Many of the stories such as the one about Danny Glover's simple chidhood from which he came and the girl who grew up on the dairy farm in upstate New York showed us all how alike and yet different we are. I was facinated with the photos of the different homesteads and the stories surrounding them. I truly enjoyed taking my children on an imaginary tour of where we have been and where we are likely to go. Thank you for sharing.

I am extremely pleased with the book. I had no idea it was an autographed copy so that was a huge surprise and it arrived in mint condition. Thanks. Rebecca Leonardtown, MD

HOPE when most NEEDED

Gave this book as our Christmas gift to our family and friends. When there seems to be so many problems (war, global warming, crime, poor economy, etc.), this book helped us refocus on relationships. THAT we have direct control over. We CAN have loving, supportive, happy homes!

Great Gift for Mom

Oops, I made this a reply above, so I'll repeat it here. I bought this book for myself and quickly realized that my Mom and Mother-in-law would LOVE it. All of the profits are going to charity. Most other politicians use books as a way of raising money for upcoming races. Donors who are limited to $2000 in direct donations can buy 1000 books and the profits go to the candidate. But, John Edwards is giving AWAY all the profits. That's something different, and something special.

This captures what it means to be at Home

Until I read this book, I had given up on the Democratic Party. It didn't seem to have any visionaries. This book is a vision of Home, of what we're all trying to find, a place that makes sense of the world, a place we belong. Okay, I'm staying with the Dems, for now. One John Edwards makes up for a lot of drones in the party.
