Still living in the county where her father was born and raised, Dwana is actively involved with the Adamsville City Commission and Chamber of Commerce, along with tourism in the state of Tennessee. With the support of his family and community, he raised his children for the next seven years, until he too met an unexpected and dramatic death.

I absolutely loved this book I absolutely loved this book. Dwana Pusser, being the daughter of the famous southern lawman, has a unique perspective of the events that transpired. She starts by telling about her childhood and then of her father's. What is appealing of her telling is that her love for her father comes through the story. What is also great is that she doesn't try to sugar coat the events. She admits that he steps out of bound. "Walking On" hard cover book I found this book to be just as good and interesting as those written about Buford Pusser by W.R. Morris. There is of course additional information about Sheriff Pusser and I learned alittle more about his children.

Five Stars Loved her story of her Dadfilled in all the blanks that the movie didn't show.Nicely done
