Holding On by David Isay
This book presents a tribute to some of America's greatest characters, holding on to unique ways of life at all costs. A castle builder, a 40-year veteran Woolworth's lunch-counter waitress, a moonshiner, and the president of The Brooklyn Elite Checker Club are among this varied group of ordinary people who prevail against all odds. Isay's compelling, often humorous profiles are accompanied by Wang's wonderful portraits.
