Off The Top of My Head

About the Book

"From award-winning Boise author, Adelaide McLeod, comes a rollicking look at life in the west, past and present. Told with Scottish verve and humor, these enchanting essays offer a glimpse into a life fully lived. McLeod's elegant writing offers the clear voice of a masterful storyteller with a questioning mind and a sympathetic heart."
-Dennis Held, Editor and author of Betting on the Night

"In vignette-like style, Adelaide McLeod has taken events and locations from her childhood through adulthood-from her back alley to the mountains of Peru-and extrapolated them into real insights for both her and the reader. Her ability to make a helix of the arcane around the mundane through her awareness of generational differences between value systems is most impressive."
-Dr. Wallace K. Pond, Psychologist, and Professor at Boise State University
