July 23, 2011
We listened to the audio book “Half Broke Horses: A True-Life Novel” by Jeannette Walls on a recent road trip with the family. It is a true story about a frontier family in the early 1900’s. The book follows the life of the matriarch, Lily, from her childhood until her children are grown. She was a gun toting, teacher of a one room school house, who helped her husband manage an active 180 square mile cattle ranch while raising two children. The story follows her as she and the country overcome hardship within an unending love of adventure and life.
