This is a marvelous tribute to Jeannette Walls' unforgettable grandmother, Lily Casey Smith. Written as a true-life novel, Lily was born in West Texas in 1901 and lived a tough, rough life with her own brand of grace. She didn't like nonsense, prejudice, or whining but she had a great sense of humor along with her practical, hardworking nature. This is a stunning account of the times and most especially the indomitable Lily - a woman you won't soon forget. This is a book you won't want to miss!
