'The Bridge' by Doug Marlette

The Bridge, Doug Marlette (3.5)

They often say ‘write what you know’. Doug Marlette certainly did that. He is a Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist who found out his family was deeply involved in the volatile textile union disputes of the 1930’s - who writes about a Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist who found out his family was deeply involved in the volatile textile union disputes of the 1930’s.  That being said, this book is a moving story about family disputes and misunderstandings set amidst an interesting part of US history. It was worthwhile to watch Pick, the protagonist, unravel the complicated history of his previously seen one-dimensional grandmother. He also does service to the various types of people of North Carolina, now and in the past - from all walks of life.
