Why read it?
1 author picked Made in the U.S.A. as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Their odyssey across America in an attempt to find their long-lost father, and the perils of being homeless in Las Vegas and avoiding the life-threatening perils of living in a car and dodging unsavory and predatory people, is a harshly realistic depiction of...well, reality.
From Robert's list on to grab your emotions and not let go.
