  I loved the Glass Castle so I was so excited to hear she had another book coming out. And due to the authors note in the back that denotes the book as fiction, because she does not have her grandmothers exact words, it flowed and moved as though I was seeing Lily Casey Smith taking the cowboys to the cleaners in poker, or learning to fly a plane. She was a real person and even though it was her granddaughter writing the story, it was as though Lily's own words and thoughts came to us directly. My favorite is and will always be The Glass Castle, this book is a definite read.
