I am delighted to find out that the woman who wrote this book is also my Great Great Grandmother!! Isn't that crazy stuff? I was not listening I guess when my grandparents gave me the book for Christmas. I actually finished the book a few days ago and let me tell you, it was more entertaining than I thought. My GGG (abbreviation for Great Great Grandmother) shot a lady and almost beat one to death on two separate occasions as the two ladies were fooling around with her first husband!! And no real punishment was given either time! oh to live in the 1800's. The book was very difficult to read though and was written phonetically so were was spelled "wer" and so was spelled "sow" and so on and so forth. I would give you a link to Amazon to purchase this book but it is not on there. You can find this book on blurb.com though. I am not really grading this book as it is memoirs of a family member. I will say though that it was done well and had a good flow up until the end which was just seemingly a list of bible verses that GGG Ollie found appropriate for life. If you are into reading non-fiction or are a member of my family you should read this book. Other wise you will probably not be as interested. Again any comments are welcome just hit me up!!
