Malcolm Jones, Arts Editor at Newsweek, paints a fascinating picture of his childhood growing up in 1950's and 60's Winston-Salem and Greensboro, NC. A child growing up amongst adults, moving through significant times in the history of the South yet still remaining a little boy. No wonder Jones is known for his cultural observations as published in Newsweek... he got an early start. I thoroughly enjoyed his memoir. --Jamie

I read the first chapter and knew this was a gem, so I tucked it away for my upcoming vacation for when I had an entire day to read. But the story wouldn’t leave me alone; I’d already been hooked and had to read more about Jeannette Walls’ fascinating grandmother. What a great story of growing up in rural West Texas at the turn of the century, this book’s as much for history buffs and those interested in women’s studies as it is for biography fans. But above all, it’s a great story and it’s told darn well.
