Beautifully written biography of a Texas icon! Jul 09, 2003
Miss Ima Hogg is a fascinating character in Texas history. Her story is brought to life with Miss Willoughby's skillful writing. It is true, factual and does not gloss over the flaws in this intelligent, extremely dynamic and very generous woman's life. Her legacy to Texas, and Houston in particular, makes this a very worthwhile book to read and share.
