Rick Braggs family in All Over But the Shoutin
Although Rick Bragg did not have the ideal family life, family was a major focus in his book “All Over but the Shoutin’. ... Rick is brutally honest about his family episodes and gives entertaining examples of each family member. Rick’s mother and father were completely different people. ... She sacrificed things just for her family. ... Rick’s father was sometimes hard to figure out. ... An example of him would be that he rented an insufficient, run-down house for his family but could afford alcohol for himself.
