I read this for a book club, but also for #nonfictionnovember and I'm glad I did. I remember everyone was reading it a few years ago and I wasn't interested simply because everyone was reading it. Also, I compare every memoir to The Glass Castle, which I know is not even fair- but I can't help myself.
I think I was encouraged by how bad ass Ruth Jordan was in the book. This woman was amazing. I loved the parts when James was younger more than other parts of the story (telling?). It's an excellent read and a beautiful tribute.
