Short collection of essays that provide a clear-eyed view into some of the reality behind Texas mythology, written by an author who loves Texas warts and all.

I learnt so much in just 152 pages. I recommend picking this up!

An interesting mix of history, biography, and geography. I like how Gordon-Reed weaves her family history and her love of Texas into a pretty clear summary and critique of what went on over the last few hundred years. Its a quick read, but a good intro to her writing style.


I received a copy of this book in exchange for a review, but all opinions are my own.
