Edwin Edwards book hits shelves

Edwin Edwards biography hits shelves Dec. 14
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) – The official biography of imprisoned former Gov. Edwin Edwards goes on sale this month, after five years of work and with its subject interviewed from federal prison.
Once topping 1,800 pages, “Edwin Edwards: An Authorized Biography” was whittled to 641 pages by author Leo Honeycutt. It hits bookshelves Dec. 14, and Honeycutt promises the book won’t sugarcoat Edwards’ life.

Incredibly interesting and enlightening. I have always thought Governor Edwards, though not without weaknesses, was a true cajun who loved his heritage, his homeland and the people that he represented. This book only deepens my appreciation for him and his family and has opened my eyes to much more than I expected. If I never have another chance to say this, I hope Gov. Edwards will see it….thank you, Sir.
