I bought this expecting to read of an early-day automobile adventure. Unfortunately, all she included were extensive descriptions of each town, home, and church she encountered. No mention of the car, what kind it was, the driver, condition of the roads, flat tires, or anything about the rigors and trials of early auto travel. So Edith, I'm charging you with false advertising.
