by Leon Hale (Author)
Leon Hale spent a lifetime finding and writing about the wonders of ordinary life that we so often overlook. In this, his first collection of columns from the Houston Post, he finds continual affirmation of the human spirit in our imperfect world.
These 155 columns have been selected from Hale's work in the Houston Post between 1967-1982. They return us to a Texas so vibrant with life, we can scarcely believe it no longer exists.
