Half Broke Horses: A True-Life Novel; Jeanette Walls
(p.19) "The way Mom saw it, women should let the menfolk do the the work because it made them feel more manly. The notion made sense only if you had a strong man willing to step up and get things done, and between Dad's gimp, Buster's elaborate excuses, and Apache's tendency to disappear, it was often up to me to keep the place from falling apart".
Is the narrator a male or female? Good teaser. Here's mine: http://thecrowdedleaf.wordpress.com/
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness...that definitely sounds like a place where someone would need to step up to the plate. Thanks for the teaser!
ReplyDeleteI thought Walls' first book was great and from the sound of this teaser, I'd probably think the same about this one. Terrific teaser!
ReplyDeleteDeja vu or something. While I was window shopping at Amazon last night I saw this book and put it on my wishlist.
ReplyDeleteI'll await your review.
Oh, I have been wanting this book! Her first book was fabulous, so I'm sure this one will be too!

ReplyDeleteI loved The Glass Castle...I'm sure I'll end up reading this one, too.
ReplyDeleteHow true!
ReplyDeleteInteresting!
ReplyDeleteDefintely want to read this one.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the menfolk are slacking. I have been so curious about this book. Nice teaser.
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser!
ReplyDeleteThis is a terrific teaser! This book is on my tbr list already otherwise I would be writing it down now. Sheesh, 3 men in the house & no one to do the jobs men usually do around the house. Not good!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a similar vein of my newest (to me) favorite book this year -- These is my Words. Sometimes a woman's gotta do what a woman's gotta do, and sometimes a girl.
