Excellent, small-town Texas, football, cowboying, coaching.

Eight unique stories, set on theTexas Gulf Coast, in fictitious "Karankawa County". Unforgettable characters---Maud and Mathatma, War Hoss Kelly, Rip Kelly, and more. Characters realistic enough to leap off the page at you. Unusual situations and a palatable feeling of country and sense of place. Morgan obviously knows his people and the situations that confront them.
