Dad is a hero and a heartbreaker. Gram shoots her favorite husband in the pocket. A pick-up teaches a street-smart lesson 84 years in the making. 60 homes. 18 schools and three husbands. Judy Bridges sees her life and her characters from all sides, up and down, and brings them to life in her wildly honest memoir.

“Like the best memoirists, Judy Bridges writes with such candor, humor and clarity that I felt like I was going through life with her instead of reading about it.”
Christina Clancy, author of:
The Snowbirds, Shoulder Season, and The Second Home

"Beautifully wrought and richly detailed, [a] story of love, loss, and resilience... this is memoir at its finest."
Jeannee Sacken, Award-Winning Author of the Annie Hawkins Series:
Behind the Lens, Double Exposure, and The Rule of Thirds

"With her characteristic compassion and wisdom Judy Bridges takes us on a frank and intimate journey through her life... Sometimes poignant, always illuminating, her insights will resonate with those who endeavor to live an examined life — a writer's life"
Shauna Singh Baldwin, author of:
The Selector of Souls, The Tiger Claw, and What the Body Remembers
