Guide Review
Bill Esterling Left Behind a Legacy
"A Locust Leaves Its Shell" is the final work of beloved Huntsville Times columnist  Bill Esterling.  The second book of what was to be a trilogy of favorite human interest columns Bill had written over the years was published just shortly before his death from cancer.  

The book he left behind for us is a warm-hearted look at life in the South.  It's divided into nine parts:  Getting Personal, Looking Back, Notable People, Making a Difference, Blood Runs Thick, Liberators, Rambling Thoughts, Inspirations, and Looking Around.  Mr. Esterling's unique look at life made him a favorite with Times' readers and his talent for seeing the best in a busy world taught us all a valuable lesson.
