Publisher's Synopsis
In this collection of Lake Wobegon stories, Keillor takes his readers back to that world, the place that is everybody's home town 'where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average.' Leaving Home is a tribute to the life and people of Lake Wobegon, an elegy and a celebration, narrated with the gentle wit for which Garrison Keillor has been acclaimed.
