Book Description

Chris Ingraham's THE WORST/BEST PLACE TO LIVE IN AMERICA, an improbable tale of a Washington Post reporter writing a short piece about the so-called (by a government report) worst place to live, Red Lake Falls, Minnesota, which led to a barrage of extremely negative comments and ultimately an invitation from townspeople for him to visit, which led to his falling in love with and then moving his young family to Red Lake Falls, where he's now happily posted as the paper's "heartland" correspondent covering, among other things, "the great divide" between urban and rural America.
