William Studebaker's reminiscence of his grandparents and parents, and of growing up in the backcountry of southern Idaho in the post-World War II period, is at once humorous and heart-wrenching. It is a story of mail-order brides and the eccentric characters the author learned to love in the family-run old folks home. It is a tale of love and rape, of vast expectations, and of wandering with no place left to go, when southern Idaho sometimes turned out to be just short of the promise it seemed to hold for those seeking new lives.. "One of Idaho's foremost poets and essayists, Studebaker reveals his family's story in plain prose, free verse, and photo snapshots.

Short of a good promise
I have been feasting on Buk's writings for over two decades. I wouldn't dream of giving him less than 5 stars for any book.
Last Saturday, I opened 'Shakespeare Never Did This (for the first time in a decade) and read it again -- just finished it tonight.
He's so funny. And if you're a non-french speaking person who has had trouble with communication when travelling in Paris...
You'll love this book!
Biggest gem in my opinion:
"Life was unabearable, its just that most people had been taught to pretend that it wasn't."
