Product Description
Jeannette Walls’s memoir The Glass Castle was “nothing fleeting of spectacular” (Entertainment Weekly). Now, in Half Broke Horses, she brings us the tale of her grandmother, told in a first-person voice that is authentic, irresistible, and triumphant.

“Persons ancient cows knew distress was coming before we did.” So starts the tale of Lily Casey Smith, Jeannette Walls’s 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 on her pony, alone, to get to her job. She learned to drive a car (“I loved cars even more than I loved horses. They didn’t need to be fed if they weren’t effective, and they didn’t place huge piles of manure all over the place”) and glide a plane. And, with her spouse Jim, she ran a vast ranch in Arizona. She raised two children, one of whom is Jeannette’s memorable mother, Rosemary Smith Walls, unforgettably described in The Glass Castle.

Lily survived tornadoes, droughts, floods, the Fantastic Depression, and the most heartbreaking personal tragedy. She bristled at prejudice of all kinds — against women, Native Americans, and anyone else who didn’t fit the mold. Rosemary Smith Walls permanently told Jeannette that she was like her grandmother, and in this right-life novel, Jeannette Walls channels that kindred spirit. Half Broke Horses is Laura Ingalls Wilder for adults, as riveting and dramatic as Isak Dinesen’s Out of Africa or Beryl Markham’s West with the Night. Destined to become a classic, it will transfix audiences everywhere.
