Half-Broke Horses by Jeanette Walls

Second of Walls' books, this is story of her grandmother, Lily Casey Smith. I absolutely loved her memoir, The Glass Castle, and was excited for this one to be released. Walls calls it a "true life novel" since it's based on her own memories of her grandmother, tales passed down from her mother and historically verified events. Lily Casey Smith was a very tough, smart, and hardworking woman who lived a very interesting life. Walls, via her grandmother, gives an accurate depiction of ranch life in the south in the early 1900's.

Would I recommend this book? Yes, and I can't wait for her next book.
