description: In this collection of stories, Tim Gautreaux chronicles the lives of "ordinary" people who face extraordinary circumstances and decisions: a farmer faced with the prospect of raising his infant granddaughter; a young man who falls in love with a voice on the radio; a train engineer who causes a colossal disaster. In stories filled with heart and humor, event and consequence, the customs and culture of Louisiana come to life in the hands of a writer who blends rare talent with an even more unusual humanity.Same place, same things --Waiting for the evening news --Died and gone to Vegas --The courtship of Merlin LeBlanc --Navigators of thought --People on the empty road --The bug man --Little frogs in a ditch --License to steal --Floyd's girl --Returnings --Deputy Sid's gift
