Wonderful memoir of growing up in northern rural Maine written by an octogenarian. Each chapter stands alone with a variety of topics. I enjoyed her reflections on aging the best. I laughed out loud reading her description of herself trying to text for her son while he was driving. The generational differences are always present regardless of the parent's age. ( )
