1. David Fly is one of the great storytellers in this country -- and especially good in that the stories he tells are from his own life. In this book Fly tells the stories of his childhood in a way that connects with our own stories -- and helps his readers make the kinds of connections which matter.
   
   This is a wonderful book for private reading as well as for reading groups.

1. This book reminds us that there really was a time when kids did something other than play computer games and watch TV. Whether the reader ever had a horse or a weekend ranch to enjoy, there are cleverly told stories about growing up that anyone can relate to. The family, the friends, the misadventures all make for good reading for young and old alike.



2. Loved your book. Lots of great humor that I can relate to. Brought back so many memories that I myself lived. Growing up in the Texas hill country in the 1950's could be hard. This book tells the many obstacles a country girl goes thru, learning as you go. Everyone needs to read this book.

1. A beautiful intimate story of a young girl growing up in rugged Idaho.This is not a story full of sweetness, but of the tough life small farmers and their family encoutered in their fight for survival. I loved it from beginning to end



2. Okay, so she's one of my best friends BUT EVEN SO, I never knew she could write this well. Her memory is sharp, her observations hard and clear, and her insights are not for the polite or faint of heart. Koskela's early life in the harsh world of Idaho farming country is told with wit and clarity. It may not be gracious but it is REAL and you will find yourself laughing, tsk, tsking and looking back with a new vision on your own childhood. I've known Alice for over 20 years--she's incapable of telling even the most innocent of white lies and so understandably she has written a book of truths. This will by MY Christmas gift this year!



3. I thoroughly enjoyed this graceful, sweet, honest and sometimes heart wrenching memoir. As the illustrator, I was honored to be a part of it.
