Customer Reviews

Very moving

I was fortunate enough to have Jerry as a teacher at Brooks. He really pours his emotions into this little powerhouse of a book. Powerful images although the printing could be better but it's well worth the purchase. I've given several to grieving friends.

Everyone Has a Life to Live: An American Portrait

This book touched my heart in so many ways.

A journey into the soul

This book is a great example of how a photograph can look into a person's soul. Every photo brings emotion and makes you reflect on your own life and the world. From pictures that make you say "awwww", to pictures that make you want to cry, this book has everything! After I first looked through it I immediately wanted to share it with everyone I knew. It's great to sit and watch someone who is reading it for the first time...

Everyone DOES have a life to live!!

Jerry Gay has an amazing ability of capturing the heart and essence of America through his black and white film...this book has moved me to tears, but also to refreshed realizations about our beautiful country--reminding me that it's not the dirty politicians or CEOs that built our nation, but the down home salt of the earth folks who go to work everyday and try to do the best with what we can.
