Wholesale Just Willa - Hardcover

Report copyright infringement by Helen Sheehy (Author) Just Willa is a family chronicle of rare beauty-more than reminiscent of Willa Cather in capturing the regional flavors of America-stretching over a span of decades through an intimate focus on the life of one woman. In it, Helen Sheehy gives us a character of indomitable spirit who fuels and anchors her family with love and bravery. We meet Willa Hardesty in 1964, while she's burning trash in a barrel and thinking "this is hell." Angry and frustrated, she finds some items she had long forgotten, and remembers that she had once been happy. In the ensuing chapters Willa's life unfolds like a tapestry, beginning in 1927 when she's eleven, about to accompany her mother on a train ride from Oklahoma to Missouri. Just Willa shows us a world filled with people and struggles both realistic and relatable-a world that is beautiful, despite its hardships.
