At age 15, Lily Casey left home to teach in a frontier town in northern Arizona – riding five hundred miles over 28 days on her pony, alone, to get to her new job. She survived tornadoes, droughts, floods, the Great Depression, and the most heartbreaking personal tragedy. She even learned to drive a car and fly a plane. Looking for a good summer read? Look no further…A fascinating, inspirational true-life novel, HALF BROKE HORSES, by Jeannette Walls. You’ll love it!
Sounds great! I believe it will be my next read:)

Oh,.thank-you for reminding me. I loved her first book. Am definitely going to put this one on my list!
And – did I mention? What an exquisitely beautiful landscape?? WOW!
Thank you! Yes, I must read her other one too! And it doesn’t hurt that the author resides in Virginia!
