FANTASTIC BOOK!

A book that is about making a family out of friends, living life to the fullest with a HUGE dose of Texas common sense. As a native born Texan, I recognize this woman who seems so much like my grandmother, strong as steel covered with silk, practical but teaches that to dream is a large part of life and death is not to be feared but not to be welcomed either! So much history in our own back yard.
