I enjoyed the book, very much. It's a bit confusing to keep up with all the people Sarah refers to, but I find her voice charming, exasperating, poetic, and truthful. I want to slap her a little, when she writes about how uninteresting and uneducated she is. I find her just the opposite. What a miracle this survived and was published. She represents a part of our history that has not been often recorded.

I'm pleased to have made this discovery. Make sure you read a recent version of this, the original publications were edited heavily. The East version is complete and features a bit of background about the family.
