Overall, Karen Wass'memoir of her mother is a readable, heartwarming profile of a remarkable woman.
Even though it's clear that the Kern County author has a deep and abiding love for the woman who brought her and seven othe children into the world---the last one at age 50, a brth that interrupted her return to college to get her teaching credential--it's not all sunshine and roses. Far from it.
Wass does not gloss over the hard times of poverty, hunger and near-homeless-ness during her childhood in the post-war years of the 1940's.
