A riveting and humorous account of one woman's reflective journey as she moves from the segregated American south in the 1940s to the Clayoquot Sound blockades in the 1990s. Betty's willingness to act on the injustices she is confronted with is a true inspiration to us all.
An adorable and inspiring read. I finished it in one sitting. At two seperate points it had me sobbing, and I can't count the number of times I exclaimed "Oh, Betty," in shock, appreciation, or wonder. Betty is an incredible, intelligent, capable, hard working, practical, philosophical, person. I hope to live my life with half as much integrity. Wholesome and heartwarming, Betty perfectly encapsulates the sheer magic of ordinary people, that each and every one of us possess, and that Betty is unafraid to express.
