After coaching and teaching for 40 years, you have years of hearing stories from students. Growing up, I lived across the levee from houseboats. One of my best friends lived on a houseboat, and I always thought about the hardship the young man has while living on the bayou. From these ideas from the past, I came across the idea of a boy, T-pep, living on a houseboat. First book was about T-Pep learning about no lying.

This book is about T-Pep learning how "NOT TO GIVE UP".
