Half Broke Horses: A True-Life Novel - Kepler's Staff Review

This is the story behind Jeanette Walls’ bestselling memoir The Glass Castle.  And what a story!  Using the same detached style, Ms. Walls reveals the hardships and accomplishments of her grandmother Lilly Casey Smith, and what life was like for Rosemary Smith Walls, Jeanette’s mother. This is an amazing look at an amazing woman; the author breaking horses at six, saving her brother and sister at 10, leaving home to teach at 15, and succeeding against all odds throughout her life.
