by Loretta Lynn
Surprisingly fresh, even for someone who read her first memoir. It revisits scenes that happened in the first, but more realistically now that the people involved are older or no longer with us. She’s not afraid to tell the truth, and she does!
In the case of Doo, she writes a lot of the fights between them, but doesn’t ignore all the good times, either. His drinking and womanizing were just a part of him that she didn’t particularly like, but it never made her stop loving him. That was a good thing to read about.
I especially liked her writing about the kids. Sometimes I got the impression that she was mostly an absentee mother—and she was—for most of her kids’ lives. But that doesn’t mean she wasn’t a deeply involved mother.
