Half Broke Horses: A True-Life Novel by Jeannette Walls

adventurous inspiring lighthearted medium-paced

5.0

If you loved The Glass Castle, then I cannot recommend it's follow up enough. This book was sweet and free and everything an Arizona girl would want to read about. I loved hearing about the familiar places like the Hoover Dam, Havasupai Falls, Phoenix, and even the little towns like Red Lake and Horse Mesa. This woman's character is so admirable and inspiring, and I wish more people today had her grit and strength. She knew what needed to be done and just did it without complaining or wishing life had dealt her a different or better hand. She considered herself just as rich as anyone with money and I loved that so much. 
This was such a great read.
