Between Them by Richard Ford (Omnibus)
Father was 'smiling' and mother 'buoyant'. American author Richard Ford remembers his parents in separate poignant accounts.
Pulitzer Prize winning author Richard Ford tells us the stories of his parents, taken from his memoir.
After his parents married they took to the road. Father worked at the Faultless Company, which took them to "Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama, and a small part of Tennessee, a slice of Florida, a corner of Texas, all of Mississippi."
On the road they stayed at motels and ate in diners.
They had fun.
They 'roistered'.
Omnibus of five parts abridged by Katrin Williams
Producer: Duncan Minshull
