loved it!

This was such a wonderful book. It was funny in parts and really heartfelt in others. It is full of personal experiences by the author about her life. I loved the stories told from a child's innocent perspective. Like the movie star glasses and the doll that was so ugly, I loved the funny car stories as different people learned to drive. I think the saddest yet insightful story was one told later after surgery and how the drugs played tricks on the mind. The poems are refreshing and fun to read. I also liked the historical perspectives and information on the area in Southern Utah where most of the stories took place from her childhood. I love the dissipation of the early morning walks at Lake Chabot in Castro Valley, CA. This book was filled with wisdom and humor we can all use.
