Jimmy Wayne to Publish Book Called Paper Angels

Posted on August 23, 2010

Country music star Jimmy Wayne is writing a book. Wayne's first book, Paper Angels, will be published by Howard Books, in September 2011. The book will be co-authored by novelist Travis Thrasher.

Wayne was abandoned at a young age by his father and growing up in foster care due to his mother being in prison. Wayne and his sister were both recipients of the Salvation Army's Angel Tree program. Wayne went on to be awarded the William Booth Award from the Salvation Army, the youngest ever recipient of the honor.

Howard Books vice president and publisher, Jonathan Merkh, says, "Paper Angels is the book that Jimmy Wayne felt he had to write. He brings his own unique personal perspective to bare in writing an inspiring book that brings compelling awareness to the often forgotten children in our society."
