And The Whippoorwill Sang tells the story of a teenager, walking along a country road, who is struck and killed by a drunk driver. But it is so much more. Author Micki Peluso shares the life of an American family--raising six children, creating a home, sharing love.  Beginning with her marriage at age 17, Peluso takes the reader from the northeastern United States to the Southwest and back again, and relates funny, touching, and surprising stories of the family's adventures along the way. Her tale spans the decades from the 1960s to the present and offers insights into those times. In many ways, it's like reading letters from a good friend.Micki Peluso has said that writing this memoir was part of her healing after her daughter's death. Others who have suffered the death of a child will find comfort in Micki's words. Those who have not experienced that tragedy will learn what love means. Although this touching story is sobering and could have been depressing, instead the family's love shines through the pages.
