Bestselling LDS novelist Lee Nelson (The Storm Testament) tells his life story the way he taught countless students to write their own personal histories: through vivid, funny, and heartfelt stories. From a mischievous California boyhood and summers on his grandfather's Utah farm, to a German mission, a Marine Corps commission, careers selling cars and inventing a roping machine, and the surprising path that made him a writer—Nelson weaves lessons about faith, persistence, and the imperfect truth. His guardian mule, Ingersoll, ties it all together. From the bestselling author of The Storm Testament comes the true story behind the storyteller. A working model of how to write your own personal history—told through unforgettable stories. How a skinny daydreamer who failed English became one of Utah's most-read authors. Guardian angels come in many forms—Lee Nelson's had long ears and was named Ingersoll. “I've known people who claim in all sincerity that they enjoy the protection of guardian angels. I am one of them. But as described above, I also seem to have the protection of a guardian mule—or jackass—so I call my history Hoofbeats .”Perfect for an older Latter-day Saint reader who loves Lee Nelson's novels, Western/frontier stories, and folksy faith-affirming memoirs, and who may be inspired to write their own personal history.
