Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0449240312, Mass Market Paperback)

To millions of Americans, Rabbit Angstrom is like a member of the family. They have followed him through RABBIT RUN, RABBIT REDUX and RABBIT IS RICH. We meet him for the first time in this novel, when he is 22, and a salesman in the local department store. Married to the second best sweetheart of his high school years, he is the father of a preschool son and husband to an alcoholic wife. The unrelieved squalor and tragedy of their lives remind us that there are such people, and that salvation, after all, is a personal undertaking.
