Subtitled Growing Up Small in Mooreland, Indiana. Originally published in 2001. Audiobook read by the author.
More a collection of personal essays than a cohesive memoir, A Girl Named Zippy provided me with a week's worth of pleasurable commuting time. Laugh-out-loud funny at times, it also has some tender moments. I especially enjoyed Zippy talking about her relationship with her father and about her mother's faith.
I don't think I would have picked Zippy up on my own - but that's the beauty of participating in a book club. I look forward to discussing it over Thai food later this month. Maybe we'll look at some of the questions in the Reading Group Guide.

Even though I'm familiar with this book...I don't think I would voluntarily read it. The beauty of book club!
