Product Overview
Author: Crossett, Larry
Paperback: 110 pages
Publisher: BookSurge Publishing
What better way to experience central Illinois than to be forced to write about it? Five years as a newspaper correspondent, covering everything from a redneck fishing tournament to his daughter’s sixth grade volleyball, has given journalist Larry Crossett quite a panoramic view of small town life. Not everything that happens, however, is considered “news” by papers like the Pekin Daily Times, or Springfield’s State Journal Register. So “A Midwest Journey” was born—a God-honoring, humorous, and relevant look at life in the heartland. Collected in this compact volume are several dozen of the funniest offerings from the first two years of the syndicated column, including “The Cat in the Christmas Tree,” “An Interrogation Before Congress,” and Larry’s attempt to get away with covering the Super Bowl without having actually seen the game. A plethora of new material, including column introductions and updates, make this book a “must have” for the column’s regular readers, and a great introduction for new readers
