Acerca de esta escucha
When a black-haired, three-year-old girl is found wounded in a dumpster outside the small town of Travis City, Texas, the mystery of who she is and how she got there sets off a 30-year saga of two diverse families. The little girl, Lourdes, is adopted by Danny and Maria Sanchez, a loving, poor couple, and the child flourishes with her own special talents and assistance by the town patriarch, William Barrett Downs the Third.
Over a lifetime in An Honorable Place, we follow Lourdes Sanchez’s victories, along with her soul-searching sorrows. It is a story of what it means to be a Texan, in a time when many in the world wonder why this land is so special to its citizens. If you still believe in honor, work ethic, and the power of the individual, you will believe the stories of Travis City, Texas.

Sam Hill always saw the world through different eyes. Born with red pupils, he was called “Devil Boy” or Sam “Hell” by his classmates; “God’s will” is what his mother called his ocular albinism. Her words were of little comfort, but Sam persevered. Sam believed it was God who sent Ernie Cantwell, the only African American kid in his class, to be the friend he so desperately needed. And that it was God’s idea for Mickie Kennedy to storm into Our Lady of Mercy like a tornado, uprooting every rule Sam had been taught about boys and girls. Forty years later, Sam, a small-town eye doctor, is no longer certain anything was by design.

On paper, Chris Brennan looks perfect. He's applying for a job as a high school government teacher, he's ready to step in as an assistant baseball coach, and his references are impeccable. But everything about Chris Brennan is a lie. Susan Sematov is proud of her son Raz, a high school pitcher so athletically talented that he's being recruited for a full-ride scholarship to a Division I college, with a future in major-league baseball. But Raz’s father died only a few months ago, leaving her son in a vulnerable place where any new father figure might influence him for good, or evil.

Imagine a town where the people perpetually live in the 1950s, a place where time has all but stopped and where everyone loves his family, job, and life. In this strange place, only a select few people ever leave the city limits and even then, they leave reluctantly. This is what 15-year-old Benjamin Granault faces as, through a string of amazing events, he finds himself living in a town where he can never talk about modern technology or current events, a place where being an outsider can cost a person his life and being part of the community may very well cost more.

But when her ex-husband suddenly dies, she gets custody of her kids again - and a chance to start over. Dixie McPherson, on the other hand, has had way too much love. She has 11 tennis bracelets, dozens of trinkets, piles of sexy lingerie, and a tarnished reputation when all she ever wanted was true love, a partner, and a family.

But when the college senior, days from graduation, enters an abandoned Montana mine, he discovers the price of reckless curiosity. He emerges in May 1941 with a cell phone he can't use, money he can't spend, and little but his wits to guide his way.

Great character that pull you in to the story
This is a great story about the forgotten small town life which illustrates how communities interact with one another and one action leads to another . It's a well written book though at times I thought it was overly descriptive it tells a heart felt story of everyday people's lives. It is ripe with characters that deal with their ethics, character and the temptations of life but somehow as a community they find the best in one another. I highly recommend it. Every one could benefit from having a mentor and neighbor like Mr. Downs III.
