"The pieces that make up the mosaic of this book are a collection of columns by Arnold Ropeik, Senior Editor of the Times of Trenton, a journalist for 50 years. Through stories about family, friends, and fishing, about politics, the local community, and the wider world, the picture that emerges from these individual pieces is one of caring and warmth, of optimism, patriotism, and faith. Ultimately this is a universal story of love and affection for people and places that form the mosaic of each of our lives"--Publisher description.
