John Dufresne, author of No Regrets, Coyote and Louisiana Power & Light Ran Henry takes his subjects so personally that the depth of the details he reveals is packed with originality and an uncanny insight into the human condition. His journey into the heart and soul of a Southern football legend is a marvel. T. M.
