Book rooted in El Reno draws praise

Body

After reading the new book by Maurice Johnson,“Dragonfly Summers, A Dream Before Tomorrow,” this is what one reviewer had to say about it.

“A statement not made lightly: Maurice Johnson may be the most positive-minded person I know. And certainly one of the finest artists. Look for the genesis of the two and you come up with Maurice’s epic, Dragonfly Summers, A Dream Before Tomorrow. An aching, meaningful recounting of life that inspires us to do the same.”

That statement was made by Al Mertens, a screenwriter and director.
