    Shortest Way Home: One Mayor's Challenge and a Model for America's Future by Pete Buttigieg: Conversation Starters


    A memoir and a manual for policymakers, this book is Mayor Pete Buttigieg's story of his successful efforts to revive a failing Midwest city. He provides insights on how to manage an American city and how this can be applied to the whole country, sharing how he goes about a typical day in a mayor's office. The author tells a beguiling story about his coming out, fully engaging readers in the account of his courtship and marriage. Written with compassion, exhibiting candor and humor, it shows how the whole of America could be renewed. He explains the shortest way to success starts with an experience that is personally lived. As a prospective national leader, he shows a promising example.
    Shortest Way Home is a New York Times Bestseller.
