Visiting Tom

<p>Somewhere between Garrison Keillor's idyllic-sweet Lake Wobegon and the narrow-mindedness of Sinclair Lewis's Main Street lies the reality of small-town life. This is where Michael Perry lives.<br />--<em>St. Paul Pioneer Press</em></p><p>Perry can take comfort in the power of his writing his ability to pull readers from all corners onto his Wisconsin spread and make them feel right at home.<br />--<em>Seattle Times</em></p><p><em>Tuesdays with Morrie</em> meets Bill Bryson in <em>Visiting Tom</em> another witty poignant and stylish paean to living in New Auburn Wisconsin from Michael Perry. The author of <em>Population: 485</em> <em>Coop</em> and <em>Truck: A Love Story</em> Perry takes us along on his uplifting visits with his octogenarian neighbor one valley over--and celebrates the wisdom heart and sass of a vanishing generation that embodies the indomitable spirit of small-town America.<br /></p>
