Summary: "Those old cows knew trouble was coming before we did." So begins the story of Lily Casey Smith, Jeannette Walls' no-nonsense, resourceful, and spectacularly compelling grandmother. By age six, Lily was helping her father break horses. At fifteen, she left home to teach in a frontier town-riding five hundred miles alone on her pony to get to her job. She learned to drive a car and fly a plane. With her husband Jim, she ran a vast ranch in Arizona. Lily survived tornadoes, droughts, floods, the Great Depression, and the most heartbreaking personal tragedy. Riveting and dramatic, Half Broke Horses is Laura Ingalls Wilder for adults.
