| Synopsis: |
Based on the extremely popular weekly television show of the same name, Texas Country Reporter features 50 stories about the people and places along the backroads of Texas. Written by the host, producer, and creator of the show, Bob Phillips, it features extraordinary individuals with a passion for what they do, places that time seems to have forgotten, celebrations as big and brash as the Lone Star State itself. Like the T.V. show, the book will be, in Bob's words, a tribute to the real heroes of our time -- the everyday men and women who make Texas such an incredible place. Infused with love, admiration -- and sometimes amusement -- Phillips' reporting has earned him a devoted viewership and brand-recognition throughout the state. His folksy narrative together with numerous color photographs, some captured from the TV show's video footage, make this book reach not only deep into the heart of Texas but also into the heart of Texas but also into the heart of anyone who reads it. |
