Wonderful, enjoyable read. I liked as much if not more than Glass Castle. Wish I had read it first because it gives me a better understanding of Jeannette Wall's mother, Rosemary and her childhood. Love her grandmother, Lillian Casey Smith, whom this book is about. A strong, outspoken, plucky lady who in many ways was ahead of her time. Jeannette Walls is a wonderful story teller who really captures the voice of her grandmother. I highly recommend this fun read.
