Highbridge Audio Mother Father Uncle Aunt: Stories from Lake Wobegon

Garrison Keillor's latest collection of News from Lake Wobegon monologues---all taken from live broadcasts of A Prairie Home Companion --is an extended meditation on the joys, sorrows, challenges, and humor of raising children. The tales include Ronnie and the Winnebago about a young man, his rock star girlfriend, and his long struggle to earn his father's understanding; Love While You Dare the story of August Johnson, who, after losing his brother in a gambler's prank in Copenhagen, flees to America rather than face his mother--who later comes to visit him in Lake Wobegon; and six more splendid, unforgettable accounts of how, in Keillor's words, the meek shall inherit the earth, and when we have done all we can with our children, it's time to step back and let them inherit it .
