by Terry Grosz

With the same characteristic blend of outrage and humor that his readers have come to expect, this book also takes a look at the stories behind the man. The stories are there are heartbreaking tales of loss of innocence, the hilarious drama of coming-of-age, and the history of the courtship that led Grosz to his wife. Through it all, there are also the stories of adventure, rescue and danger that marked Grosz's earlier books. Learn how a boy who pitched hay, worked as a logger, played high school and college football, and discovered the beauty of the outdoors became the man who worked in state and federal wildlife enforcement for 32 years. And rediscover why, as people like him get more and more rare, we find that we need them more than ever.
