REED CITY BOY - "For anyone who has ever thought about living in a small town - where most people, it's true, do know your name - Tim Bazzett has written the perfect book. For those who grew up in small towns, in places like Reed City (where I was born), this tale is a reminder of those lost spring afternoons ... with your whole life ahead of you. This book is funny, poignant, and blazingly honest."
