So went the words of Grandma Bebe. And for all of my growing-up years, I scoffed at the beauty of my sister and what I saw as her meaningless existence. But my wits hadn't served me well in this instance, for here I was, in jail. And while I could have seen it as carrying on the family tradition (for Grandma Bebe landed in jail for her support of Prohibition), the truth is, my reasons for being here would probably break her heart.
So how did I end up becoming a criminal? I've been pondering that question all night. Perhaps the best way to search for an answer is to start at the very beginning....

Though Waters Roar
Rarely, if ever, has a back cover made me so incredibly interested in a book. This book I picked up at the library, and after reading the blurb I was totally hooked. Then I brought the book home and was promptly disappointed.
My disappointment stems mostly from the fact that the book isn't what the back cover led me to believe it was. I thought the story was about the narrator, Harriet, but instead it's about her grandmother, Bebe. Also, the story starts out exceedingly slowly and continues you at that pace for a long time. It took me a couple hundred pages in to finally grasp the fact that this story was only going to tell a few bits and peaces of Harriet's life. After I realized that, I enjoyed the book a lot more.
All in all, I thought the book did a good job of capturing the time period, and also the struggles the characters went through. Suffrage and temperance are two subjects I'm obviously familiar with, but it's been a long time since I've read a book that highlighted either one, so that was interesting.
I enjoyed the book, but I wasn't blown away by it. I probably wouldn't read a second book in the same series.
