A Nation with Growing Pains

Hank Niceley, a 90-year-old who grew up and continues to live in East Tennessee, has had a variety of professional achievements. The peacefulness of rural life is very appealing, but Hank has enjoyed traveling all over the world with his wife and two sons. Being a college professor for many years, he has taken his students on art study tours in Europe. He has been published almost one hundred times in national magazines. Now in retirement, he spends his time writing books, articles, poems, songs, and stories for children. The books for children all have a moral to the story, such as The Little Rooster Who Couldn't Crow, which made it to #1 on Amazon. He is the author of ten children's books. His other works include religious books— Plant Me in a Bigger Pot, Vision Beyond My Sight, and Homesick for a Country. Singing and songwriting have played a big part in his life and have led to the production of several musical albums.
