Chuck Holmes deals with everything from the so-called "good old days," to politics to just how good that Samaritan really was in "More Than Just Cellular." The 60-plus essays see a number of the world's facets, but--in a way--all from the same point of view: that we need to take lessons from those who teach us to be more compassionate and avoid those who want to separate us. In the essays Holmes uses his experiences as a lifelong Southerner, in advertising, as a political consultant, as a Sunday School teacher, and as a husband, father, and grandfather to inform his views.
