Story/video of how author John Erickson and his wife recovered after the 2017 wild fires took their home.

http://www.myhighplains.com/news/local/through-the-fire/1170536279

Of course, he wrote a new Hank book about the fires.



The best quote from the story:
Quote:

"It was hard to face nothing and having to accept the charity and the goodness of people in our church and town," says John. "But as one of the characters in the new Hank book says, 'well Mr., if you don't like taking charity in the Texas Panhandle don't let your house burn down because if it does, you're going to get help.'"

Through the lens of generosity, John Erickson found his happy ending, "We can't expect to escape hardship and tragedy but when it happens, we are not alone."

All of my 7 kids - now grown and with their own children - recall snippits and scenes from the "Hank the Cowdog" books read to them as toddlers and re-read as they grew older and now reading them to their kids.
Great books!

Just this week two of the older kids were discussing things that happened in these books that they now identify with as adults.
