Worth, Texas. This seller of \"pretty paper\" became the subject of one of country music's most beloved and often performed holiday songs, and now, with a leap of imagination, Willie tells a wonderful tale of who that man might have been...\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt's the early Sixties and Willie 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. The humble figure, known as Vernon Clay, incites Willie's curiosity, but Vernon is 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.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThen Vernon disappears, leaving behind only a diary, which tells an epic story 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.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45090901983484,"sku":null,"price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/4975\/4108\/files\/penguin-books-books-fiction-pretty-paper-9780735211544-40449677983996.jpg?v=1762965507","url":"https:\/\/shop.thirdeyecomics.com\/products\/pretty-paper","provider":"Third Eye Comics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
