This is a wonderful and magical memoir. I would recommend it to any woman with full confidence that they will love it. I laughed and I cried. I felt myself swept away with Heather's writing. A quick and excellent read. Thank you for sharing your story!

I enjoyed the "company" I felt that I had while reading Heather's memoir. I felt a bit disturbed at times by the lack of care she received growing up and the negligence of her relatives, but I enjoyed her many adventures. So glad to be in a good book group that stretches me to read things that I wouldn't otherwise pick up. I thought I had read this previously, but I was confusing it with a gardening book.

Rounded up to 3.5. What I took away from this book is what home means. How motherhood can sometimes fill up a void in your own childhood or with nostalgia you can recreate some of it.

Heather Ross has long been a favorite fabric designer of mine. Her writing is just as great as her fabric. I was drawn into her stories about her life with it's challenges and sorrows.

Intriguing look into the life of a burgeoning illustrator. While I didn't relate to her growing up experiences they were a fascinating look into what makes Heather Ross, Heather Ross.

I felt compelled to keep reading this book, a sign of a good book. [a:Heather Ross|677976|Heather Ross|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-ccc56e79bcc2db9e6cdcd450a4940d46.png]'s childhood was fascinating for its difference from my own. I was struck by how brave she grew up being, willing to try bold ideas and make mistakes, from such hardship and neglect in an idyllic setting. Bravery that let her share all of this with us, her readers.

Short stories are just right for me right now and Heather Ross' were endearing and heartfelt and funny.
