This is my first Jeannette Walls book, and I absolutely loved her writing! I don’t think Lily Casey and I would have gotten along — mostly due to some dramatic political and ethical differences — and it’s hard for me to divorce my qualms with her beliefs (which were probably pretty liberal for the time period,) from the ethics of the books itself. Either way, she certainly was a hell of a woman who died with an inspiring amount of stories.
Moderate: Suicide
