Sample Book Insights:

#1 I had a dream that was triggered by a condition I’ve suffered from my entire life. I would spend my summer vacations with my father, a traveling machinist for the Continental Can Company, who would take me and my mother and sister to visit canning factories in central and northern Wisconsin.

#2 I spoke to my father, who had died the previous year, on the off chance that he could hear me. I told him that I would always remember him, that I would miss him, and that although we’d had some sharp disagreements, I’d never stopped loving him.

#3 I decided to make an epic road trip across North America to see how the America of 2010 was different from the America of 1996.

#4 In geology, a rift is a long, narrow zone where stresses in the earth’s crust are causing it to rupture. In North America, one such formation is the Rio Grande Rift, which is pulling apart at the rate of two millimeters a year.
