Description: "When I first meet my father-in-law, I'm 30, a Minnesotan, born middle-class. He's 55, a Brazilian, born poor. I'm easy-going, he's hard-driving. I'm vegetarian, he's carnivorous. I'm shallow, he's deep. My blood, Scandinacian reserve, His, gaucho warrior. I'm books and movies, he's hammers and nails. I'm placid, he's uproar. Over time, the chasm between us begins to close."--Back cover.
