Glass, paper, beans

revelations on the nature and value of ordinary things

A chronicle of the author's search for the origins of a newspaper, a glass, and the coffee placed on her cafe table--a quest that led her to Ruth Lamp, a worker at an Anchor Hocking factory in Ohio, Brent Boyd, a lumberjack from Plumweseep, Canada, and Basilio Salinas, a man who tends coffee trees in Pluma Hidalgo, Mexico.
