About the book
A debut novel based on the extraordinary life of jeannette walls' maternal grandmother - a sassy, straight-talking heroine for whom saving lives, taming wild horses and beating ranch hands at poker are all in a day's work. Born in 1901 in the rolling grassland of west texas, at the age of 15, with very little formal education, lily casey smith left home to begin teaching in a frontier town, riding 500 miles on her beloved pony, patch, all alone, to get to her job. She went on, with her husband, to run an 180,000 acre ranch in arizona and to raise two children, one of whom is jeannette's memorable mother, rosemary smith walls. Readers will love and marvel at this intrepid woman, for her fearlessness, her courage, her wicked sense of humour. A true adventurer!
