Lilah C @RT20834478 11/14/2023 This is a beautiful story all around. If you are from Texas it will hit home. If you are not it will still remind you of a story of a person from a town you will know and warm your heart equally the same. It is a story of life, death, tragedy, comedy, regrets and just living. Told by one of the best leads around - Mr Sonny Carl Davis. See more Read all reviews
