Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 David Wallace’s story is one of midwestern normality. His parents were professors at a public university in Illinois, and he and his sister grew up in a house full of books and learning. His mother was the center of the universe.

#2 Wallace’s mother, Sally, was a huge influence on him. She was smart and funny, and she included him in her love of words. She was also extremely strict about grammar, but that just added to the excitement of having a gifted mother.

#3 Wallace’s childhood was happy and ordinary. He was a skinny, gap-toothed kid with flaccid hair cut in bangs. He liked the Chicago Bears, loved their star linebacker Dick Butkus, and wanted to be a football player or a brain surgeon to help his mother’s nerves.

#4 Wallace’s approach to dealing with injustice was to appeal to his parents. He was a smart kid, but many adults found him a handful. He was constantly asking Why.
