Relationships of three hapless souls
TumbleweedsBy Leila Meacham (Grand Central Publishing) I love it when a book starts like this: “The call he’d been expecting for twenty-two years came at midnight when he was working late at his desk. … The name of the caller appeared in the identification screen, and his heart did a flip-flop.”Middle-of-the-night phone calls from people you haven’t heard from in nearly a quarter of a century almost always bode well, at least if you’re in the hands of a talented author.In this case, you certainl

John Lewis’ 19th-floor office that bares this quote: “One man can make a difference and every man should try.” It is one of many pearls of wisdom scattered about the elder statesman’s Atlanta office, but it is this single sentiment that beats throughout “Across That Bridge: Life Lessons and a Vision for Change” (Hyperion, $22.99), Lewis’ latest book on his life and the civil rights movement
