Reviews
"Utterly charming and page-turning." --Bob Ruggiero, Houston Press "An inspiring, fictionalized account of the man behind the lyrics. . . . Nelson spins a fast-paced story that is hard to put down." --Glenn Dromgoole, Abilene Reporter-News "Willie established long ago that he can conjure up a haunting two-minute tale in three-quarter time. But perhaps he should have been writing long-form feel-good fiction as well -- because Pretty Paper is a good story well told . . . wholesome and heartfelt and rings true in every way . . . the reading experience will feel as if you've sat down with Willie Nelson in his tour bus and listened for a spell as he shared a homespun story from his adventure-filled life." --David Martindale, The Fort Worth Star-Telegram "Willie Nelson fans--you don't have to go far to find these--will love it.. . .smooth and insistent prose . . . in the manner that Willie would talk if he were just sitting down with you and telling you the story (and what a treat that would be)." --Larry Thornberry, The American Spectator "A warm, witty holiday fable." -- Parade "Willie Nelson, who has always told wonderful stories in song form, proves he can be just as effective in print narrative." -- Booklist "This engaging holiday musical treat by a country music star will delight all readers, particularly Nelson's fans." -- Library Journal, "Willie Nelson, who has always told wonderful stories in song form, proves he can be just as effective in print narrative." -- Booklist "This engaging holiday musical treat by a country music star will delight all readers, particularly Nelson's fans." -- Library Journal
Synopsis
A perfect Christmas gift for music lovers, Pretty Paper is Willie Nelson's inspiring Christmas fable, based on his holiday classic "Pretty Paper." More than fifty years ago, Willie Nelson's beloved Christmas song "Pretty Paper" first hit the airwaves. And for all these years, Willie has wondered about the real-life Texas street vendor, selling wrappings and ribbons, who inspired his song. Who was this poor soul? What did his painful trials say about our loves, our hopes, our dreams in this holiday season-and in the rest of our lives? It's the early sixties and Willie Nelson is down and out, barely eking out a living as a singer-songwriter. The week before Christmas, he spots a legless man on a cart, selling wares in front of Leonard's Department Store in Fort Worth, Texas. The humble figure, by the name of Vernon Clay, piques Willie's curiosity, but Vernon is stubbornly private and-despite Willie's charming queries-has no interest in telling his story. Willie is tenacious, though, and he eventually learns that Vernon is a fellow musician, a fine guitarist and singer. When Vernon disappears, he leaves behind only a diary, which tells an epic tale of life-altering tragedies, broken hearts, and crooked record men, not to mention backroad honky-tonks, down-home cooking, and country songwriting genius. Deeply moved and spurred on by Vernon's pages, Willie aims to give the man one last shot at redemption and a chance to embody the holiday spirit., A perfect Christmas gift for music lovers, Pretty Paper is Willie Nelson's inspiring Christmas fable, based on his holiday classic "Pretty Paper."
