"All Over but the Shoutin' " is the story of journalist Rick Bragg's southern family roots. Rick Bragg was born in northeastern Alabama in 1959. His father was a violent drunk who eventually abandoned the family leaving his mother Margaret to raise three young boys alone.
Margaret Bragg worked hard at several different jobs including picking cotton to provide for her children. All Over but the Shoutin' is a loving tribute to a generation of ordinary but heroic people and a way of life that is almost gone.
