This collection of inspiring, thought-provoking, and sometimes comical stories is from Terry Ashe, the Sheriff who holds a tight rein on the lawless in Wilson County, Tennessee. Awarded three Purple Hearts and the Bronze Star for bravery in Vietnam, he faced a whole different enemy when returned home from the war to clean up the blight "across the creek" from the scene of his childhood - Bluebird Road. Sheriff Ashe has been re-elected term after term for a total of four remarkable decades.
I enjoyed reading about a city I am fairly new to while easily recognizing land marks referred to in the book. The stories were riveting and emotional, while many of the side items were quite humorous. I really enjoyed this book and was pleasantly surprised to meet him in person and was impressed with how approachable he is. I highly recommend this book, especially to anyone new to this wonderful town of Lebanon, Tn.
