Half Broke Horses

Jeanette Walls is a popular author, the Glass Castle was a great biography (I hear, I haven't read it yet, I'm going to I swear), and her latest Half Broke Horses was great. It's a fictionalize telling of her grandmothers life. Lily grows up on a poor ranch in Texas, moves to Chicago, and moves back west throughout the story, and throughout all of it, Lily is interesting and entertaining. Lily is tough, self assured, and independent during a time when that wasn't typical, making her life as a teacher, mother, wife and sometimes breaker of horses all the more interesting. I hear you should read this one before Glass Castles, but I'll let you know.
