Lone Star Leaders tells the stories of the vivacious congressmen and women who shaped power politics in Texas and the United States for 125 years.

Step-siblings Jason and Em-ily grapple with universal teen issues, but their troubles feel like uncharted territory when expressed through pitch-perfect narrative voices.

From dealing with intrusive family members to judgmental class-mates to marital bliss and misery, Duff’s memoir describes situa-tions familiar to anyone who has ever lived in a small town.

MEET THE AUTHOR

TOM HARDYTom Hardy is a native Texan who was born and reared

in Fort Stockton and Alpine in far West Texas. He attended Sam Houston State University later followed by Trinity University in San Antonio. He is now retired

from hospital administration and resides in Florida with his wife.

A city man, Tom Carter is forced by the death of a cousin to return to his rural roots in West Texas. Hardy takes his readers along two journeys in this novel: the physical journey that Tom takes as he drives to the funeral in Alpine, and an exploration of Tom’s life as a child growing up in the country through which the adult Tom is now passing. But not all of these memories are happy ones, as Tom and his cousins soon find out. The funeral starts to unravel a dark secret that could change everything Tom thought he knew about his family.Hardy breathes life into all of his characters with witty dialogue and nostalgic memory sequences. Slow Moving Dreams is a story of homecoming and family bonds that, in this age of consumerism and technology, is a refreshing change of pace.
