Contents:
Widow's mite: Man who buys books because they're pretty
Killing, and a man who tried to walk on water
Fake gold, other people's houses, and the finest man I never knew
Dreaming that a crooked man will straighten up and fly right
When God blinks
Free show
No papers on him
In the mouth of the machine
On the wings of a great speckled bird
If you got to kill somebody, better it ain't family
Under a hateful sky
Getting above your raising
Fine qualities
100 miles per hour, upside down and sideways
Usual suspects

Validation
1.3 acres
Same
Who we are
Safe in the dark
A New York Times Notable Book of the YearThis haunting, harrowing, gloriously moving recollection of a life on the American margin is the story of Rick Bragg, who grew up dirt-poor in northeastern Alabama, seemingly destined for either the cotton mills or the penitentiary, and instead became a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for The New York Times. It is the story of Bragg's father, a hard-drinking man with a murderous temper and the habit of running out on the people who needed him most. But at the center of this soaring memoir is Bragg's mother, who went eighteen years without a new dress so.
