Helpful Score: 3
The author called this book a "true-life novel." It is filled with stories about her free-spirited maternal grandmother growing up in the "wild west." I found it entertaing with a "O Brother Where Are Though" (one of my favorite films) feel to it. In the authors previous novel, THE GLASS CASTLE, where she writes about her "brainy underachieving" parents and her bizarre childhood, I had a few questions to why her parents lived the way they did....this "true-life novel," helped me understand the "forces" that shaped her mothers life. I think Walls is a wonderful story teller and this book is filled with many life lessons.
