Take Me Home is a collection of short stories based on the author’s experiences as a sports-loving boy growing up in Indiana in the 60s and as a practicing attorney in Florida. Each story presents vivid local colors and memorable characters. Many present-life passages are to be navigated and moral questions are to be pondered. Take Me Home is a light but worthwhile read that you will want to pass along to your family and recommend to your friends.

Gary M. Crist is a native Hoosier who grew up rich, culturally if not economically, in Southport, a rural South Side suburb of Indianapolis. Early on, he gravitated to the world of sports and actively participated in baseball, football, basketball and golf. Mr. Crist went on to graduate from the Indiana University School of Law and engaged in sports and entertainment law practice for over 40 years, including 13 years in the position of Legal Counsel to the PGA. Now retired, Mr. Crist continues writing and enjoying the good life at the Saddlebrook Resort and Spa near Tampa.

    "Take Me Home" is elegantly written. The author's personal and straightforward style presents both vivid narrative and poignant dialog. As a reader, I saw the evocative scenery and heard the unforgettable, often witty characters. It's a light, two-hour read and a welcome addition to the bedside table.

  • Tree Gallagher

    A very pleasant and satisfying read. I read it straight through, cover to cover, in about an hour and a half. I enjoyed the author's elegant yet simple style. Many of the stories took me on a nostalgic journey back to my own experiences as a child and young adult in Cleveland in the 50s and 60s.

  • Fellow Hoosier

    Great read!!! I also grew up in Indiana and the stories told by Mr. Crist resonated with me, taking me back to my adolescent years. Very relatable stories, each stemming from great traditions and with the perfect blend of seriousness and humor. Would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a quick read that will take you back to a simpler time and will serve to be a reminder of the good life that is so often taken for granted in this day and age.
