West of Then: A Mother, a Daughter, and a Journey Past Paradise by Tara Bray Smith

3.0

I'm giving this a GENEROUS 3 stars. I wanted to like this so badly, but the organization and storytelling just didn't do it for me. It was all over the place. I thought that the most interesting part of the story happened during the last 30 pages or so and should've spent more time on that than other stuff that just didn't add to the book at all. I wanted to put it down many times, but only kept reading it because my late mother gave it to me and because I'm going to Hawaii next month, otherwise I would've put it down.
