About the Book: (from the back of the book)
It's the place you'll always call home. The place you run to --if only in your memories-- when you've lost your way and your compass can't find True North" Where do you go when the wheels come off? When no place feels safe and you can't find a smiling face? When you've lost everything and you wonder if you'll ever get it back. Sometimes, you just need to go home.

About the Author: (from Amazon)
Craig Daliessio is an author and speaker and a dad. Once a highly successful mortgage banker, Craig lost his home...and his career...when the industry collapsed in 2008. In the years that followed, he returned to college, earning his Bachelors in Religion from Liberty University, penning three books, and two blogs, and beginning his Seminary studies. All these achievements were commendable enough on their own...except Craig did this while living in his car. His fight to remain an active father in his daughter's life forced him to make the hard decision to remain in Nashville where he could find no work...but where he could be the devoted dad he has always been. The author of "Harry Kalas Saved My Life" and "A Ragamuffin Christmas" adds "Remembering America...Looking Back at the Last Innocent Age" to his list of critically acclaimed works. Craig's writing reflects his journey...full of Faith amidst doubt. Optimism amidst fear. Devotion to family and the deep desire to share his love of a well-crafted page that touches a heart and brings a tear or a smile...or both. He is a gifted speaker and amateur hockey player and loving father. A native Philadelphian who currently resides in Nashville, Craig's literary voice has been compared to Brennan Manning and Gene Hill.

Sounds like a truly inspirational story, from an inspirational author!
I can't wait to read this book! Last year, we moved from our previous home which was on a military base to our current home which is in the suburbs of major city. I mourn the loss of security and simplicity of living on base where the kids could wander freely, all the neighbors knew one another, and everyone waved and said hello to one another.
this sounds like a book I would really like to read. I never heard of this author, so thank you for sharing your review!
Thanks for such a wonderful review! I appreciate it! I hope your readers enjoy it. I appreciate the feedback.
God bless,
Craig Daliessio
I will definitely look into this book as I am former LU graduate as well. I remember living in the innocent times.
This looks like quite an interesting book! I don't usually read this type of thing (sadly I focus on the "crap" I prefer my raeding time to be completely thoughtless down time lol) however, I may check this out.
Sounds like a great book! Craig seems like a man who got a second chance to really make some changes. Awesome :)
More like I went through hell to discover who I really was. And it emphasized the value of character. When you have nothing left, it matters if you have character.
Wow, another one for my must-read list!
This sounds like a great inspirational story. Thanks for sharing it with us. I need to check this one out.

I love what Craig has said in his comment here. Love to read the book.
This sounds like a very good book. It is sad that times have changed so much that no one is really safe and innocence seems to be a thing of the past.
sounds like a great book and inspirational too. would love to purchase this one :)
Always great to hear about the good old days of when America was respected and life was fun.
I love stories where authors share past experiences! I'll have to check this one out!
I'm such a fan of nostalgia. I was born in the 80's so the information age already had a strong start. Sounds like a good read though.
This one sounds very interesting! I was born in the early 70's and I'd love to read some of this one.
Sounds like an interesting story. I love to look back at my family history and at the things that were going on at that time. You can learn so much. Great review of a great book
I grew up in a very rural community that had 1 stoplight and a small general store. That to me was what America embodied for me in my memories. I love being able to raise my kids in a small neighborhood where we can still give them some of that innocence.
Sounds like a great read. :)
I will def have to check this out!
