Mardi Jo Link (Get this book)
In a heart-wrenching, heartwarming, and invigorating memoir, author and
farmer Link struggles following her divorce to hold on to the life she
had built. Neither sugarcoated nor wallowing in self-pity, Link's
storytelling is as tough, honest, and unyielding as one would expect
from a Michigan farmer. Her account, told with humor and panache, of
pulling oneself up after disappointment and loss will appeal to the
bootstrapper in all of us.--Booklist
