description: From Luckenbach to Lubbock, Galveston to Greenville, Bob Phillips has spent nearly three decades traveling the backroads of Texas searching for and celebrating "the everyday men and women who make Texas such an incredible place." Here are fifty stories straight from the heart of Texas Country Reporter, the Emmy award-winning television program created, produced, and hosted by Bob Phillips. Meet a cowboy with the heart of a poet and a woman whose "secret sauce" can sweeten a sour accordion. Visit a resurrected ghost town and a sanctuary for abandoned pigs. Stop by offbeat eateries where you can sip coffee as they wash your car or enjoy truly Texas-sized pancakes. For fans of Texas Country Reporter, this companion book will recall some favorite stories. For non-Texans, it serves up a sampling of the unique people and places that make the Lone Star State larger than life.
