"All Over but the Shoutin'" is a 1997 memoir about growing up in Alabama written by New York Times Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Rick Bragg. Sometime, if you are feeling like your life is tough, you should read this book to help put your life into perspective. Bragg's father was an abusive drunkard but, thankfully, absent for much of his childhood, leaving his mother to raise Bragg and his 2 brothers in abject poverty. This book is both an inspirational rags to riches story (well, metaphorically anyway) and a testament to a son's love and appreciation for his mother.
