Population: 485

Population: 485: Meeting your neighbor one siren at a time /Michael Perry 234 pgs.

Michael Perry has such a way with words...who else can make you laugh, cry and think about vomiting all in the same essay. Seriously, he is amazing. I've read a couple of his other books and now need to catch up and read them all because the topics are so real and so wonderful. These selections have mostly to do with his role as a volunteer firefighter/EMT in his home town...population 485...New Auburn, WI. There are thrills and chills and the "hard" topics are dealt with so honestly and straight forward. I really can't say enough good about Michael Perry. Oprah, why haven't you featured him yet? - Christa
