Sample Book Insights:
#1 I had a difficult time understanding the concept of death as a child, as my family attended many funerals. I thought the dead looked good, as they were sleeping in big suitcases.
#2 My family lived in the rural north Louisiana town of Gibsland, near the border with Texas. It was a place where the line between heroes and villains was not so clearly drawn.
#3 I had a lot of memories of playing with my brothers in that house. We had pillow fights and tickle fights in our room, and we would watch Soul Train together.
#4 I first learned about love from Big Mama and Jed, who were my first family. The house was small, with just five rooms, and it was close to Highway 71. It was between a forest on one side and a cow pasture on the other.
