Book Description
More than fish tales in this delightful book, readers will discover stories about the special relationships that develop through fishing-between parents and children, between friends and lovers, between fisherman, nature, and the elusive fish. Fishing is a common thread in many lives, and this book shows the strength and importance of those threads-whether your passion is fly-fishing, bass fishing, deepwater fishing, or just casting a line on a hot summer day.
Chapters include: First Cast, Small Fries, The One That Got Away and Hooked For Love.

FROM THE CRITICS
Library Journal
Abolitionist Sojourner Truth delivers her famous speech "Ain't I a Woman," Malcolm X writes from prison about his developing interest in books, Colin Powell offers his thoughts on the Buffalo Soldiers, and Maya Angelou presents an excerpt from her autobiography I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings in this inspirational anthology compiled by professional speakers Canfield, Mark V. Hansen, and Lisa Nichols. Other luminaries include Lalita Tademy, who felt driven to quit her job to investigate her ancestry, which results in her writing the novel Cane River; Magic Johnson, revealing the bad news he received regarding his health; and Nelson Mandela, walking to freedom after 27 years in prison. Most of the contributions, however, are from unfamiliar and unidentified voices, African Americans who share their memories of family, their triumphs, their testimonies of faith, and how they made a difference in the lives of others. Despite some lackluster storytelling, this collection is recommended for public libraries and should appeal primarily to YAs. Ann Burns, Library Journal Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
