The Hitchhiking Grandmother, Grace Small

I am now reading: The Hitchhiking Grandmother, by Grace Small. Published 1990 by The Pilgrim Way Press. This book tells the story of a woman, Grace Williams, in Illinois. In the first 3 chapters Grace tells the story of her early childhood and all the places she moved to in Mclean county Illinois. Her dad had many jobs, mostly working on a farm. He once owned a hotel, which he liked the best because he was a people person.

I like this book much better than Life on the Mississippi. I think it is rather a humorous autobiography. I'm suprised with this book because I found two errors in the text, so I'm guessing that it was published by a small private company. I stopped reading after Grace told me the story about her father's hotel burning down so I'm excited to read about where her and her family moves next. I was also suprised to hear that her dad bought her a piano, from what I know, pianos are expensive, and I don't think that owning the hotel brought in much money from what I read.
