I know, all too well, that the majority of my readers are female. However, I am often surprised at how many guys read my posts. And thus, as a salute to them and to one of their favorite fall sports, football, I am selecting a book that probably is more their style. That doesn’t mean us ladies can’t benefit from this book, particularly Texas ladies, for it’s content will astonish you and is largely a biography and insight into the man. A man who once resided in my sleepy little town and literally put it on the map. I give you the October 2014 MIP Book Club Selection:
