Lone Star pride runs strong, there’s no denying it. But what exactly does it mean to be a Texan? Is it all boots, chaps and cowboy hats, Lone Stars and barbecue and stories of Ann Richards? Sarah Bird (A Love Letter to Texas Women) and Andrea Valdez (How to Be a Texan) sit down to discuss what life as a Texan means to them, and how it inspired their new books.
