Aficionados of Southern Literature who read this book will put it high on their list of worthy efforts in that genre.
The big takeaways from this memoir covering a life lived from the 1920s through 2015 are the tragic and humorous vignettes Mary Margaret serves up with an economy of verity and compassion.

pickI loved this books so much.
Read by a gentle soothing voice.
The story of the holocaust has alway been a subject I'm interested in learning all about.
My grandad was a child when it all happened so he had a few stories of his own.

This is an amazing book read with such passion and truth. You never really know what's going on in someone's life behind their smiles.

pickGregory Scofield‘s memoir, written when he was only 33, outlines his struggles with intergenerational trauma and with the internalized self-loathing he‘s experienced as a gay Métis man. I wasn‘t prepared for how hard it hit me; for the sheer depth of feeling, or for Scofield‘s ability to make the specific feel universal. I highly recommend it in its own right and as a successor/cognate text to Maria Campbell‘s HALF-BREED.
4.5 stars
I made a big pot of turkey chili this afternoon, partly because I‘ve gotta eat and partly because I wanted to do something productive while I finished THUNDER THROUGH MY VEINS. What an amazing book. I‘ve enjoyed a couple of Scofield‘s poetry collections, but they in no way prepared me for this hard-hitting memoir. #audiocooking
pickThis man is a great storyteller and has a fantastic reading voice.
His mind though is all over the place.

Currently reading this interesting book.
All the stories are raw, truthful and very honest. These stories don't sugar coat it if a mistake was made they own up to it.
