Sam's comments and questions about life, death, and things in between such as "Why do people have to get naked?" are the backbone of the book. Gottlieb takes the backbone and fleshes it out with chapters about events in their lives. We learn about Sam's first solo night away from home and Gottlieb's first train trip since his accident.
Because I work in transition and career education, I especially liked the chapter "My Kind of Place." Gottlieb says the question "what do you want to be when you grow up" is not the kind of question kids ask themselves. He reminds us to stop what we're doing to experience our place. Just be.
