Based on a popular New York Times Op-Ed piece, this is the
quirky, heartfelt account of one man's quest to meet his
neighbors-and find a sense of community.nnJournalist and
author Peter Lovenheim has lived on the same street in
suburban Rochester, NY, most of his life. But it was only
after a brutal murder-suicide rocked the community that he
was struck by a fact of modern life in this comfortable
enclave: no one knew anyone else.nnThus begins Peter's
search to meet and get to know his neighbors. An inquisitive
person, he does more than just introduce himself. He asks,
ever so politely, if he can sleep over.nnIn this smart,
engaging, and deeply felt book, Lovenheim takes readers
inside the homes, minds, and hearts of his neighbors and
asks a thought-provoking question: do neighborhoods
matter-and is something lost when we live among strangers?
