In episode sixty-six of Life Writers vlog, we dive into Jeannette Walls’ lesser-known masterpiece, Half Broke Horses, a true-life novel about her maternal grandmother’s extraordinary life.

We look at why she called her book a true-life novel and talk about some of her grandmother’s escapades.

Here’s another link where Walls explains why she identified her book as she did.

Remember, the only way to do this wrong is to not do it at all. Happy writing!
