In the Neighborhood: The Search for Community on an American Street, One Sleepover at a Time

Peter Lovenheim realized a sad fact about life on his tree-lined street: No one knew anyone else. So when his community was rocked by a brutal murder/ suicide, he decided to knock on neighbors' doors, and what's more, ask to sleep over. In doing so, Lovenheim takes readers inside the homes, minds, and hearts of a compelling cast of characters, and learns lessons about community, friendship, and himself along the way.

He asks a thought-provoking question: do neighborhoods matter-and is something lost when we live as strangers next door?
