He also examines a horrifying phenomenon in the remarkable story "Fatal Distraction," in which he speaks to thirteen mothers and fathers whose children died as the result of being left in a sweltering car during the hot summer months.The result is an emotional revelation that inspires readers to take a closer look at the world around them. 517 $aWashington Post Pulitzers 610 $aMusic, American 610 $aMusic 700 $aWeingarten$b Gene$01436253 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910149050003321 996 $aWashington Post Pulitzers: Gene Weingarten, Feature Writing$93594694 997 $aUNINA
