From one of our most acclaimed chroniclers of the forces eroding the fabric of our shared life, her most personal and powerful: a reckoning with the changes that have rocked her own beloved small Ohio hometown. Beth Macy grew up as the paper girl, delivering the local newspaper. Now there was no local paper, no paper girl, and precious little civic glue. The book takes us into the heart of one specific place and through it brings into focus our most urgent set of national issues.
