Summary: a retelling of the true, unusual contest-winning life of her mother who was raising 10 kids. When life was hanging by it's last thread, a new contest winning came in the mail to renew their hope.
My thoughts: I thought it was an interesting story about a strong woman. She was married to a drinking, selfish man, but pulled herself and her whole family through it with hope and optimism. I liked the realization of the daughter when she saw her mother as a person who had hopes and dreams and interests, not just a mother.
I got a little tired of reading all the jingles though. I skipped over a lot of those.
I thought the story was a good reminder of the power of mothers.
