"In the spirit of the holiday season, beloved author and radio host Michael Savage's Train Tracks reminds us how every member of our family-in fact, each individual we encounter through time-contributes essential gifts to our life story. In the title chapter, set in the early 1950s, Savage remembers the excitement and mystery of riding the train from New York's old Penn Station to rural Pennsylvania at the start of the holiday break. Drawn from Savage's own journey from poor immigrant's son to media stardom, these deeply personal true tales show us that even in today's homogenizing times, we are all charting a unique destiny as we journey through life."--Jacket p.

Even thought the author is a political commentator/radio show host, this is not a book about politics, but about growing up in New York City in the fifties, in a poor and ethic neighborhood.
The book is full of short essays, (some not quite as short) which open up your eyes to a world of 60 years ago. Some of the essays broke my heart, others were just okay.
Worth a read, especially if you like reminiscences. ( )
