You may recognize the author of this book: Bob Greene. For many years, he's been a columnist for the Chicago Tribune, which has been syndicated to hundreds of newspapers.
Don't let the title of this book fool you. You might think Chevrolet Summers, Dairy Queen Nights: Of Cloudless and Carefree American Days (973.9 GRE) is going to be the sentimental and sweet ponderings of Bob Greene. Granted many of these stories are, but not all.
These stories (only a few pages long each) cover an eclectic variety of subjects, from his light-hearted look at a baking competition at a county fair to the heartbreaking story of a dirty, abused boy beaten by his parents.
I'm sure there are stories in here that everyone can relate to.
