When Joey's troop train passed the final story in 1942, Strays Like Us (1998) woven talks from humor to sharpness. Due to his rough character and the practical perspective of life, Grandma Tanger not only reflects the center of the town but also the spirit of the times. She turned the table from a big city journalist, defeated the local sheriff, provided food to the wanderers of the Great Depression, and influenced the battle between the heroes of the old (ancient) war.

Very good, very good. (Fiction 9 - 12)
