My niece's favorite book

I am far more interested in the PERSON, than in the TV shows they appeared on. This books gives some insight. Unless you go through what someone else has experienced, you have NO IDEA. Try to put aside all preconceived notions and listen with your heart while reading. You won't be disappointed.

Interesting book, but...

This is a mildly interesting book, but don't bother if you're looking for insights into Cooter's Dukes of Hazzard years. Only 10% of the book's 290 pages refer to the TV show, and even that has few interesting Hazzard anecdotes. Most of the book is just about a guy who stays drunk all of the time and married some of the time. Maybe he should run for Congress...

Inspiring story

I've met Ben and he is exactly how he presents himself in this book -- a witty, charismatic man who has overcome adversity and remembers where he come from. This is a good, inspiring story of recovery.
