It struck a nerve. If you have a chance to hear Walls speak, don't miss her. She has such a positive outlook.

Jea...Sharon! You have to read this! Every word! :D<br /><br />Jeane, I was told that _Half Broke Horses_ explains a lot about the mother in _The Glass Castle_! Many of the participants in our discussion turned on the mother and said she had no redeeming quailities, but then someone suggested they read her second book that explains why the mother is the way she is. I got a blurb in my book and it starts off with a bang!maggie moranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02462439415973311990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20112247.post-55134632698545985502011-01-26T17:22:33.468-06:002011-01-26T17:22:33.468-06:00I liked this book so much I want to read her other...I liked this book so much I want to read her other one now, Half Broke HorsesJeanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270303640902731044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20112247.post-68900991519963203302011-01-26T15:40:30.676-06:002011-01-26T15:40:30.676-06:00Wow, this sounds like an intense read.
