One of America’s most respected and decorated broadcasters, Scott Simon is the host of NPR’s Weekend Edition Saturday, “the most literate, witty, moving, and just plain interesting news show on any dial” (Washington Post). Having reported from all 50 states, five continents, and 10 wars, Simon has earned every major award in broadcasting, including the Emmy, Peabody, Studs Terkel, and Columbia-DuPont awards. His novels and nonfiction, ranging in topics from war-torn Sarajevo to Jackie Robinson to the joys of adoption, have received wide critical acclaim. Simon’s new memoir is a portrait of grateful moments spent with his mother in her final days.
