Synopsis
Posed in a positive sense, WHY ME, LORD? is a bittersweet tale of back-breaking toil from age six counterbalanced with an otherwise joyous fun-filled Louisiana-bayou youth, rampant with wild exploits and extravagant escapades that would make Huck and Tom proud. Born to poor, devout, French Catholic tenant farmers, the author unquestionably prefers the classroom over the serfdom of a cruel cotton field. A Model A Ford runs over him at age nine and apparently knocks some sense into his hard but broken head. He becomes an ardent believer in God and an avid student, hoping that education can be his ticket out of the cotton patch. Fast forward to 1956; after juggling as many as four jobs simultaneously, he graduates from LSU as the "Outstanding Male Graduate in Journalism." Author/co-author of over 20 books, he takes no credit for his good fortune; rather, he is forever persuaded that a Greater Hand is conducting the symphony which began with one cheap harmonica. All is not paradise: slips, trips, stumbles and stupidity are likewise revealed; however, in his 50th year of blessed, blissful wedlock and 70th year of life, failure is no consideration as he relishes the prospect of what lies around the bend. --over the hill. --beyond the horizon.
