Her acclaimed work in the \u003ci\u003eTampa Bay Times \u003c\/i\u003eoften takes her to the edges of society, where she paints empathetic portraits of real-life characters like a 99-year-old man who still works cleaning a seafood warehouse, a young couple on a bus escaping winter, and a child in the midst of adoption. In \u003ci\u003e\"The Girl in the Window\" and Other True Tales\u003c\/i\u003e, DeGregory not only offers up the first collection of her most unforgettable newspaper features--she pulls back the curtain on how to write narrative nonfiction. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This book--part anthology, part craft guide--provides a forensic reading of twenty-four of DeGregory's singular stories, illustrating her tips for writers alongside pieces that put those elements under the microscope.
