| | | "New York Times" bestselling author Sharyn McCrumb looks deeply into the heart of America in this emotionally charged novel about love, miracles, and grassroots sainthood. Annotation: This homage to the late NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt, who died in a crash at the 2001 Daytona 500, is told CANTERBURY TALES-style. A tour group embarks on a modern pilgrimage to the places sacred to Dale Earnhardt's memory--the racetracks of the Southeast. En route, these NASCAR pilgrims share their own histories and the reasons why the racecar driver's life and death were so personally significant to them. The book represents somewhat of a detour for Sharyn McCrumb, who is best known for her Ballad series of mysteries.
