A reporter's hilarious adventures

This wonderful collection of true stories follows a young reporter on his first job. Moving from the city where he was raised and educated, the author finds himself in a small cowboy town where nothing is familiar. It will make you laugh and make you hope for a film version. Leiren-Young is not afraid to make fun of himself, and that is the soul of this book. Enjoy it, as I did.
