Never Say Calf Rope: A Grandfather's Legacy

If you liked Mark Twain's adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn you'll love the humorous, oftentimes exciting escapades of Jack Zorn and his two younger brothers growing up on their grandfather's farm in rural Thomaston, Georgia. It was during the depression years of the 1930's. Money was scarce. The Zorn boys were poor, but they didn't know it. Besides, everyone else was too. Later the author opens up his heart, and candidly reveals a close relationship to a father, plagued all of his life by an addiction to alcohol, and a grandson who provided joy, inspiration and humor.
