A Girl from Yamhill by Beverly Cleary
"Mother and I stand on the weathered and warped back steps looking up at my father, who sits, tall and handsome in work clothes, astride a chestnut horse."
I am LOVING this memoir by Beverly Cleary. It's fantastic.

What a lovely, romanticised description. It sounds like this will be a very beautiful memoir :)
Oh, how fun! I am definitely going to track this down. I lived for many years on Klickitat Street, not far from the BC park with the cute sculptures, and still live in the same part of town. BC lingers over this part of Portland.
I didn't know Beverly Cleary had written a memoir. I do like this first line. It's nostalgic. :)
Thanks for participating in Book Beginnings!
Very nice beginning.
