I absolutely adore Rick Bragg's Southern Journal stories in Southern Living magazine. However, this book just goes on and on about how his childhood included a no-good father and a fabulous mother. I'm so glad that he has a wonderful mother but somehow it just doesn't seem to make a novel. His short stories are much more interesting reading. It's OK but not great.
