This is one that I had sitting on a shelf next to this computer, it was sitting there for a couple years and just figured it was time to be read. Was looking for a fiction story that wasn't too deep or anything, just a good story. It mostly fit the bill. Lots of tough things happened to main character Lily--later changed name to Ruby and at end of book back to Lily. Tough things in the 1960s and 1970s--starting in small town KS and then to Vegas to get away from small town KS. Then at end to New Mexico. A good story but seems like author tried too hard to get different interesting things from the time into this book--a sort of Zelig or Forest Gump type thing crossed my mind but not in a good funny way. An okay read but at times thought this book could have been better. I am not a writer so this is an unfair criticism but was still a feeling I had.
There are 4 WL for this book in PBS so will post & send off at some point.
