Opis

Can you pull a water skier behind a sailboat? What happens when you mistake dog food for Spam? What's the best antidote for insomnia-sleeping pills or baking soda? What should you wear if you're the mother of the groom? How can Jockey briefs be used to repair a straw hat?

Grace Lester's second volume of memoirs, "They Said It Couldn't Be Done: More Stories from North Dakota, Minnesota, and All Over the Place, " answers these questions and more. Sports car racing, chicken chasing, cake baking, creative cussing, daring rescues, amusing escapades, river adventures, UFOs, mind over matter, and the power of prayer all make their appearance-as do St. Paul gangsters, Count Basie, and the Virgin Mary.

A quick and entertaining read, "They Said It Couldn't Be Done" continues Grace's warm-hearted observations on American life from the 1920s to the present. Her first book, "I Can't Believe I Did It, " was published in 2014.
