      I read the book years ago. It's an easy read, probably a day or two between homework 
      assignments : )

      I read it a long time ago, like 1979 or 1980 or something like that. It was a cute book.

      Barnes and Noble had a second hand section on their web site, that's how I was able to 
      get it because it's out of print. Where did you find it?

      I read it twice in the early-mid 80's when I was a teenager. Be prepared for a very 
      different view of the Bradford (Braden in this case) clan. Tom deals with some very real 
      issues (e.g. there aren't any "Night They Raided the Bradfords" incidents as I recall). 
      
      Another interesting factor was the time in which the story takes place. I BELIEVE he
      writes of the family in the 1950's and 60's. Don't quote me on any of this. I'm writing
      entirely from 15 year old memories.

      If you want a *really* non EiE look at the Braden's, read Tom Braden's 1982 article 
      "A Father's Story." The copy I have is reprinted in the book "The Religious Case For 
      Abortion," edited by Hamilton Gregory, Madison & Polk Publishers, 1983.
