Book - NF: Crawford: The Back Page

In this new collection, veteran television and newspaper journalist Byron Crawford shares stories about Kentucky's rural people and places, ranging from the playful to the poignant to the profound. Meet Justin the donkey, companion of racehorses and connoisseur of marigolds. Read tales of panther sightings, snake crossings and haunted happenings. Reminisce about country stores, telephone operators and pool halls. Hear quiet voices of sacrifice, courage, service and love. Since 2011, Crawford has written the back page of Kentucky Living magazine, the state's most widely circulated publication, and each month, readers enjoy his unique gift for "finding the little story within the big story," as he puts it.
