The Valley of the God-Almighty Joneses by Maginel Wright Barney, Tom Burke
3.0
Part of the spark that led me to my last two books of 2007 was Melody mentioning that the illustrator This Way to Christmas is the younger sister of Frank Lloyd Wright and that she wrote a memoir of her childhood, which is this book. A quick read with fun little tidbits about life in Wisconsin in the late 19th century. As I was reading it, I realized that though I have long admired Wright, I don't really know much about him. This book wasn't enough to satisfy that desire (and I would have liked less about the large extended family and more about her adult years), but enough to make me want to know more about this talented family
