"The Life and Legend of the CoCo Bed Kid" This is the story of a modern day Robin Hood. The CoCo Bed Kid recalls his youth, and hardships of those that he grew up with. Although the Kid realized that a life of crime was not the right thing to do, he honestly felt the good would outweigh the bad. The Kid felt that by "paying it forward" his deeds would help many people. I tried to implement the names of many dear friends as characters, to make the story more entertaining. Although a work of fiction, I Pray that my inclusion of Louisiana landmarks will help the reader become more absorbed into the story. Although it has a Western flavor, I feel it would be appropriate in almost any time period. CoCo Bed is a real place, where I was born into a loving sharecroppers family. Those of us who claim CoCo Bed as home are the most fortunate people alive.
