Tightrope

Tightrope: Americans reaching for hope / Nicholas D. Kristof & Sheryl WuDunn, 304 pgs. Read by Jennifer Garner

The authors examine many of America's ills with data and definitions but also with personal stories from people.  Many of these people are personal friends who grew up in Yamhill, the town where Kristof lived as a child and where his mother still lives.  There is something jarring about these personal stories.  These are people were on high school sports teams with the author or rode the same bus.  This personal view is interesting for the reader.  This is the first time I've heard Jennifer Garner as a narrator.  She did a wonderful job.
