Reviews"You are a readable writer and a likeable writer which is to say a good writer. This book is not recommended for people who need to quit reading and go to work." "Out Here clearly is the right place for you." -Yes, Peace, Wendell Berry, Kentucky novelist, poet, essayist, environmental author, cultural critic, and farmer "If I wrote like Bob Hill I could get a job with decent hours. He looks like a macho, trench-coated reporter of another decade, but his prose gives him away. Through Bob's column, a reader meets people making heroic efforts to muddle through. They're the people we might never hear if Bob hadn't stopped to listen." -The late, great Bob Edwards Louisville native and NPR host of Morning Edition "Out Here" is a fascinating journey through the icon Bob Hill's love of family, delicate storytelling and working the soil. "Out Here" is a roadmap for everyone. Don't drop your dreams. Pursue the best vision of yourself. Savor every second of life." -Terry Meiners, Louisville, Kentucky WHAS Radio host "Hang with Bob Hill long enough, and he'll find you a time, place, and character that will cause you to come away feeling good about humanity." -Dave Kindred, Author of eight diverse books, former Louisville Courier-Journal and Washington Post sports columnist.

SynopsisMy almost-60-year journalism career began in 1964 on an overstuffed sofa in a Montgomery Ward store in Houston TX. With somewhat harder chairs waiting in Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky. My travels ranged from the World Ice Skating Championships in Czechoslovakia to Loretta Lynn's homeplace way up Butcher Hollar KY to interviewing Muhammad Ali in his mother's Louisville house to a Southern Indiana nudist colony. Bob Hill has won many awards for his writing, including the Ernie Pyle Legacy Award, which recognizes the ability to connect with people and tell their stories. Hill did that for 33 years in 4,000 columns he wrote for the Louisville Times and Courier Journal, and in the ten books he has authored. He is the author of the best seller Double Jeopardy, An Electrifying True Story of Senseless Cruelty, Murderous Rage, and Justice Miscarried. OUT HERE gives us great insight into a storyteller that speaks from the heart and the soul of real America., My almost-60-year journalism career began in 1964 on an overstuffed sofa in a Montgomery Ward store in Houston TX.
