Autographed - Heroes of a Texas Childhood Book #16315
In his latest book, Kinky Friedman reflects on the impressive characters who colored his own years growing up in Texas. Heroes of a Texas Childhood highlights 23 individuals who inspired and influenced the child then known as Richard Friedman. Kinky’s heroes come from all walks of life. Some are well-known, like Sam Houston and Lady Bird Johnson while others are more obscure. All of his subjects have something in common: they each showed unwavering courage in the face of obstacles, resistance and fear.
“Some of the heroes in this book are covered in glory, and some remain unsung even to this day,” says Kinky. “They are between these pages because of the way they faced the failures, challenges and tragedies of their lives...the best way to know somebody is to find out who their heroes are.” In paying homage to his heroes, Kinky’s trademark wit meets a softer, more thoughtful voice. Insightful, touching and always entertaining, Heroes of a Texas Childhood is the most personal of Kinky Friedman’s 29 books.
