A Long Way from Home: Growing Up in the American Heartland in the Forties and Fifties. Tom Brokaw describes his childhood and youth in South Dakota, and the people and places in the American heartland of the 1940’s and 1950’s that continue to shape his life today. As he recounts his own American pilgrimage, Tom Brokaw also explores what brought him and so many Americans to lead lives a long way from home, yet forever affected by it. Author: Tom Brokaw; Reader: Sharon Haines.
