A Prairie Chicken Goes To Sea

To me Margo is a kindred spirit to "The Little Engine That Could". By simply reading her book, this "chicken" became encouraged and downright impatient to burst out of the confinement of my land-locked life and eager to venture forth to explore both nearby and far-off, exotic places. Hers is a story with a positive outcome that you just don't hear often enough. Anyone, especially women, who could use some encouragement at a difficult time of life can gain inspiration and hope from her story. I am presently reading it for the second time.
