This book felt like I was sitting down with an old friend as he told me all about his childhood over a delicious fried Oklahoman meal. The prose was short and to the point, often ending stories as soon as they started, and just picking up with another the next chapter. Somehow this made me nostalgic for 1970s/80s Oklahoma. I really enjoyed this story of an Indian kid who loved sports and got into journalism all while growing up in poverty, but having friends and family that loved him and teachers that believed in him.
