BookMinute - March Featured Book

Life as a Sandwich is the March featured BookMinute brought to you by Huckleberry House.

Buy local ... familiar watchwords for everything from farmer's markets to florists.

Fiction author Eric Peterson is a San Diego resident, and in his new novel, Life as a Sandwich, he chronicles a California culture gone haywire.

The book follows a dedicated family man, who's swept up in the modern day gold rush of the high-tech boom. He launches a start-up company, never imagining the events that will shatter his comfortable world.

Life as a Sandwich is a funny and often thought-provoking novel - a great selection for book clubs.

The title comes from the term "sandwich generation": men and women squeezed between raising children and caring for elderly parents. But this novel is about a different kind of sandwich - the unravelling of a family caught in the cross hairs of blind ambition and the search for a better life.

Life as a Sandwich is available at most bookstores. It's a great San Deigo story.

This has been BookMinute. For Huckleberry House, publisher of Life as a Sandwich. Read books. It makes you a better person!
