Glenn Boyer’s Where the Heart Was follows Depression Era youth, Bennie Todd as he grows into a man. But it is more than a coming of age story of this Chicago youth. It is a journey through history. This isn’t the history you might be bored by in school books. Boyer’s history lesson is more personal, more heartfelt, and transports the reader through time, from the America’s fledgling days as a Republic from the Revolution where it began through the Civil War and Depression of the 1930’s. Through cameos, Boyer reveals historical characters so real you feel as if you are back in their time listening to them speak. 4.5 out of five stars.

Ooooh! I love of history! Sounds like a good one with an original "twist" to it!
