I read this book many years ago.

Really a page turner.

He is treated kindly by many people, but terribly by others.

A couple of things I recall:

He was run off the road by some idiot and nearly died.

He was absolutely starving and some driver threw a Dairy Queen bag at his feet that contained several BBQ sandwiches, which he eagerly ate. (Made me crave some DQ!)

He ends up being taken in by a black family and goes to a Christian revival, which changed him forever.

His account of this is both very funny, and touching.

A real story of redemption and faith.

Thanks. Good summation.
