Weaving a latticework of different strands, moving back and forth through time, Josh Brolin captures a life marked by curiosity, pain, devotion, kindness, humor. He recounts an unconventional childhood far from Hollywood. Raised on a ranch in Paso Robles, California, he was surrounded as a child by the wolves, cougars, and other wild animals gathered by his fearless and explosive mother, Jane Agee Brolin. Her tragic, early death haunts this book, and the force of her unforgettable personality is felt throughout.

Anticipation for this book
Revisado: 05-06-25
I love him. I did not love this book. I just didn’t get any understanding of his life from it. I was confused throughout the whole book. The only thing I understood was his Mom was an unhinged woman. Honestly, I had to force myself to finish it to make sure I didn’t miss anything. I could have stopped after the first couple of chapters and not missed a thing.

What a beautiful story of triumph, self reliance and resourcefulness in the face of adversity. I believe this is my first book from this author but I enjoyed it immensely. I can’t wait to see what else she has written.

Connie Chung is a pioneer. In 1969 at the age of 23, this once-shy daughter of Chinese parents took her first job at a local TV station in her hometown of Washington, D.C. and soon thereafter began working at CBS news as a correspondent. Profoundly influenced by her family’s cultural traditions, yet growing up completely Americanized in the United States, Chung describes her career as an Asian woman in a white male-centered world.

Historia5 out of 5 stars 8
In 2017, Deven Grey, a young mother, shot and killed her abusive partner in a remote trailer in rural Shelby County, Alabama. She claimed self-defense and filed a Stand Your Ground claim. Instead of freedom, she was handed a “blind plea” – an option to take an unknown sentence in exchange for pleading guilty. As a Black woman who shot and killed a white man in Alabama, she did the only thing she could: She took the plea. Deven’s sentence became the final link in a chain of deceit, haunted land, generational trauma, false identity, coercive control, and a broken justice system. Hosted ...

Randomly found this podcast. I was instantly hooked after listening to the trailer. The host’s voice kept me captivated as did the story. Unfortunately, this story demonstrates once again there are many places where women nor children are valued. The lack of training and understanding of why domestic abuse victims don’t leave abusive relationships and why they keep quiet. This is without delving into the race issue of a black young woman with a white abusive boyfriend. I absolutely believe the outcome would have been different if Deven was white and the boyfriend was black. I’m a white lady from MS and there is no getting around unconscious bias without a strong effort to change yourself and push yourself to do better. I can’t wait to hear what this group covers next.

When Sandra Leigh was seven years old, she fell into the role of protector of her mother and three younger siblings. One winter night, she ushered her mother out of the house during one of her father’s tirades, and then snuck her back into the dark home through a window. Sandra was used to events like these; what she wasn’t used to were the mountains and nature surrounding her new home in West Virginia.

In the snowbound city of Kiev, wry and bookish history student Mila Pavlichenko organizes her life around her library job and her young son—but Hitler’s invasion of Russia sends her on a different path. Given a rifle and sent to join the fight, Mila must forge herself from studious girl to deadly sniper—a lethal hunter of Nazis known as Lady Death. When news of her three hundredth kill makes her a national heroine, Mila finds herself torn from the bloody battlefields of the eastern front and sent to America on a goodwill tour.

One of my favorite authors. Every time I finish one of her books, I spend days afterwards researching the characters to learn more about them. She brings them to life.
