Short collection, riffing on the old Paul Harvey "Rest of the Story" concept, enlivened by personal connections between Rowe and the people or events featured.

I grew up listening to Paul Harvey on the radio my parents always had on (in the kitchen, the car, the barn), when in the 1st chapter I read Mike's book would have that 'rest of the story' vibe, I was excited to dive in. While there were moments in the book that fell flat for me, overall I heard Mike's voice in all of it. I learned a few things I did not know and also this reading has nudged me in the direction of listening to his podcast.
