Venango Tales: Life in the Small City

This book collects columns that appeared in The News-Herald and The Derrick between May 1998 and early 2001. These are the essays that made readers in Venango County laugh, argue, and think. They are a reminder that life is just as rich and smart and moving and funny in a small community as in any other corner of the world. Readers will find here a viewpoint that is both familiar and fresh, challenging and rewarding, presented by a voice that is both practical and thoughtful.
