Rick Bragg is a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist for the New York Times and the quality of his writing shows in "All Over But the Shoutin." This memoir tells of Bragg's childhood in Alabama, growing up with two brothers, a loving mother, and an alcoholic father. Bragg's mother manages to provide for her family even after being abandoned by her husband. Bragg's talent for storytelling lands him plenty of work in journalism and takes him around the world. The stories of his relationship with his family - particularly with his mother - make this an enjoyable read.
This book is appropriate for adults.
