ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Half Broke Horses" by Jeannette Walls tells the true-life story of Lily Casey Smith, a fiercely independent woman who lived a remarkable life in the early 20th century. The narrative follows Lily from her childhood on a Texas ranch through her various adventures as a teacher, a wife, and a mother. She faces challenges with resilience and determination, always seeking her purpose in life. The book explores themes of self-reliance, the importance of education, and the complex relationships within a family. It delves into Lily's unconventional approach to life, including her methods of teaching, her unique way of relating to horses, and her ability to adapt to any circumstance. Lily's journey is marked by both triumphs and hardships, but her indomitable spirit remains a constant force throughout the book.
