Customer Reviews

A marvelous tale.

The episodes of real life that fill 'Boondocks' are delightful reading--of family, Boots the dog, turning a plot of land into a natural golf course and the babysitter's boyfriend confrontation with the missing sparkplugs. Haney's writing style is a treasure. It flows so gently but leaves its mark far more indelibly than a horse hoof on a putting green. If you enjoy golf, perseverence and how to fit it all in with a much-loved family, you'll greatly enjoy this saga.

An adventure of discovery and passion

Chasing Dreams in the Boondocks is the memoir of one man's quest to bring his childhood dream to life - the dream of building a golf course by hand the old fashioned way. With very little money or assets beyond his career as a writer and the support of his wife and four kids (the eldest age six), he embarked upon the project in the quiet Michigan countryside with enthusiasm and determination, and his task grew beyond the efforts of his family as neighboring farmers and village craftsmen contributed to his dream. An adventure of discovery and passion, sure to resonate in the hearts of anyone yearning to pursue what they long for most.
