I recently finished reading this book for the second time. I had previously read it last year, along with The Glass Castle and The Silver Star, and found myself compelled to revisit it. One of the things I love about the book is Lily Casey Smith's tenacity and gratitude for everything she had. Even when she was teaching in a one-room schoolhouse, she felt thankful for the opportunity to educate her children. It's clear that Lily felt a sense of obligation to do good in the world. While she didn't go out of her way to make enemies, she would stand her ground if someone crossed her. She held strong opinions and beliefs, and was always willing to defend them.
