I like the way she told the story without being bitter or accusatory even though she had every right to be. I recommend this all the time. Glad your book group liked it, definitely a lot to discuss.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-820510759274318028.post-27433292798141904112012-06-03T21:26:38.915-05:002012-06-03T21:26:38.915-05:00Wow!

The bookgroup had a hard time with the fact the father almost prostituted his daughter. An intense book but excellent none the less. <br /><br />Have you read "Half Broke Horses" by the same author? I've heard its good, but haven't had a chance to read it! :)<br /><br />Thank you for stopping by :) You made my day!The Brunette Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01274190099219658110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-820510759274318028.post-74527015659606643892012-06-03T19:29:03.175-05:002012-06-03T19:29:03.175-05:00This is one of my favorite books.

It's almost more heartbreaking to see the wonder in the author's eyes at her daddy's tall tales; the reader sees the dysfunction without it being overly explained. This shows how mental illness comes in different shades; her parents were intelligent but clearly had major issues functioning in reality. The children were so strong to get through it. I recommend this book all the time!Stephscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328839483008086049noreply@blogger.com
