Garrison Keillor has been delighting audiences for four decades now with heartfelt, moving, and downright hilarious tales from the shores of Lake Wobegon. A story about springtime, and air thick with desire, or about the advantages of dynamite when you're digging a grave in winter. No place like it.

And what you learn along the way is that-quicker than any road sign or street map or pair of shiny red shoes-all you really need is a story to get you from here to there. Just light the fire, make some popcorn and hit "Play." The Road Home will take you all the way to where you already are. No need to get up.

A story about an ordinary day, any ordinary day. No need for a
