"An eyewitness account of the rough-and- tumble world of East Texas hustling, as seen through the eyes of an impressionable youth force to grow up quickly. A tale of beer joints, outlaws, corrupt officials, oil field money, and intrigue fueled by an endless parade of strange characters drawn to the mix.
Rocky's ability to share his story and emotions, gives the reader a sense of how normal his life must have seemed to him at the time, but how outragous it appears on the written page today
A quick read that will bring a smile an perhaps a sigh of relief in knowing this chapter of East Texas history has passed."
John Erwin, Proprietor--BD Riley's Pub--Austin, Texas
"The truth is a hard story to tell." If you read only one book this summer, make it, He Ain't Heavy..He's My Brother." Great Read.
Harold Wells, Mayor--Gladewater, Texas
"A lot of East Texas history in just a few pages !"
True story / Great Read
"Rocky Hawkins has written a rare, fun and beautiful book. If you don't believe me, read it yourself !! "
