“I first read Out on a Limb as a teenager, and was very happy to run across it again. It is every bit as funny as I remember it being. Baker was an inspiring person — but more than that, she was a very good writer.
Party Line: Remember shared telephone lines? Remember being at the mercy of every gossip in town? Baker writes about her life as a girl in a small California town, and how lives were shaped – sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse – by what was overheard on the party line.
Out on a Limb: At the age of eight, Louise Baker lost her right leg in an accident, but she never lost her sense of adventure, or her sense of humor. This is the (very humorous) tale of her subsequent life as a uniped.”
