Easy Going

Easy Going gives us Leon Hale where he is most at home, on the road.In a collection drawn from his longtime column for The Houston Post he takes us with him from the Grand Prairie to the Piney Woods to the Lower Rio Grande Valley to the "quiet, thoughtful" countryside of Washington County. This is Texas at its backroads best, a portrait of people and places that remains fresh and unique despite the passage of time.Hale is special. His view is clear and wide and his theme is happiness—the kind you come upon easily and naturally when you live with a relaxed openness, alert to the potential for joy in common day experience.His world is a place we can go to when our spirits need soothing. His voice and outlook are grounded and authentic, filled with humor, sentiment and timeless warmth.
