For those who have read 'The Glass Castle" Jeannette
Walls has also given us another fascinating book. In her new book, she brings us the story of her grandmother, told in a first-person voice that is
authentic,irresistible,and triumphant.From the authors
notes Jeanette wrote In telling my grandmother's story, I never aspired to that sort of historical accuracy. I saw the book more in the vein of an oral history, a retelling of stories handed down by my family through the years, and undertaken with the storyteller's traditional liberties.
Once I started reading it was difficult to put it down
