Universal and Thought-provoking:
This book is a unique combination of wit, humor, and wisdom. The author's personal experiences are presented in a way that makes readers pull out the drawer and re-examine experiences of their own. The book is set in Oklahoma and tells the life story of an Oklahoman, but it takes its readers far out of the state's border. Through telling her own life journey, Teresa Miller makes you think about the questions of family, home place, and relationships with the surrounding world and with your own self. As a foreigner, originally from Ukraine, I felt that in this book the author explores the topics that do not have borders or nationalities. This is the book that will touch your heart and mind.
Absolutely Wonderful!:
Teresa Miller has given us a rare jewel in the form of an incredible memoir. Ms. Miller's insight and wisdom would have been enough to keep me turning the pages of her book, but the addition of her sense of humor totally hooked me. Her journey is one many of us can relate to - we can see ourselves in her dreams and relate to her struggles and triumphs. I especially enjoyed the way she headed sections with quotes - they made me eager to read the text that followed and discover how she connected the dots. Do yourself a favor and curl up with this lovely book!
A good, entertaining read:
While I am not normally a big fan of memoirs, this one kept me interested enough to read it in one night. It is witty, honest, and involved enough to keep the pages turning. Miller has captured bits of life's truthes between the covers of this book.
A (re)View from the Heartland:
I live in Arkansas, in the heartland of America, and I remember a favorite aunt's favorite warning ("Now don't you story to me!") when my imagination took one too many means of transit during our visits! So I loved taking Teresa Miller's journey with her through those times and with those people. But this book is not just for those of us who recognize these people and places; it is for all people everywhere who have journeyed through their own heart's strange and wonderful landscapes. It is beautifully and poignantly written. I recommend it highly.
