I found a paperback edition of this book, yellow with age. A note from my mother, age 97 and suffering from dementia fell out from between the pages. She said it was full of charm and humor and recommended it. She was right. Russell Baker had a hardscrabble childhood. His father's people were Virginians;...

I had copies of both of his novels, but I read the second one first because I liked its title better than the first’s, To Walk the Night. Or maybe I read it first because its pages weren’t as old and yellow and brittle....
