Jack Leonard's father, Billy, is an alcoholic. Billy isn't a bad guy. Friends would say he's the life of the party; his family might refer to him as harmless. After all, he isn't a mean drunk ... he's a happy drunk. Unfortunately, these things tend to run in the family, and Jack takes after his old man.

Then Jack meets a girl. Samantha fills the holes in Jack's life. Life is almost perfect.

Or is it?

The time is coming when this family will be tested. Texas Jack is a compelling and poignant story about family. Recommended for fans of Nicholas Sparks.
