All were featured in the opinion\/editorial section not just because they were funny or heartbreaking or relatable, but also because the personal stories have a deeper public context, with insights on the culture, politics, racial attitudes, values, morals, and socio-economic disparities in Chicagoland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne story, for example, shows how an idyllic summer evening at a south side little league field, turned into a dramatic lesson about race for a thirteen year-old. Another chronicles a young couple's decision to check into a \"no tell\" motel near Midway Airport, and its surprising consequences for their relationship. A third dramatizes the panicked, humorous reactions of a south side Irish Catholic family after learning from Ancestry.com that they are not Irish, after all. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMcGrath's work has been cited in BEST AMERICAN ESSAYS 2022.\u003cbr\u003e \n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 248\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.52 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 06, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47224029741305,"sku":"9798867845490","price":13.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/7bgYww9o5c9798867845490.webp?v=1768231041","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/far-enough-away-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
