Raised in highly conservative West Texas, Donna Prothro was taught to be a little lady, filter her speech, and be as much like her mother as she could be. When she attempts to follow in the footsteps of her mother's award winning nursing career, she encounters nothing but chaos along the way. In this heartbreaking and humorous coming of age memoir, Donna realizes that she has more in common with her smart-mouthed, Louisiana bred grandmother and being true to herself is the only way to be.
