"Half Broke Horses: A True-Life Novel" by Jeannette Walls
For the first 10 years of her life, Lily Casey Smith, the
narrator of this true-life novel by her granddaughter, lived
in a dirt dugout in west Texas. Walls, whose mega-selling
memoir, "The Glass Castle," recalled her own upbringing,
writes in what she recalls as Lily's plainspoken voice, whose
recital provides plenty of drama and suspense as she
ricochets from one challenge to another.
