Sommario/riassunto

Lane's explorations--within a one-mile radius of his home in South Carolina--intensify his bonds to family, friends, and colleagues as they sharpen his sense of place. By looking more deeply at what lies close to home, both the ordinary and the remarkable, Lane shows us how whole new worlds can open up.
