Anne Pounds, an incessant storyteller, has released her captivating memoir, “Riding in the Rumble Seat.” Much of the book contains laboriously transcribed letters that reveal to readers an intimate glimpse into her mother’s secret life during her difficult journey, one filled with poignant reminders of women’s lives in the 1950’s that often made for misogynism and alcohol-fueled violence, followed by zany moments of respite. With a theme reminiscent of Jeanette Walls’ “Glass Castle” and then rebounding to the zany antics of an impoverished version of “Auntie Mame,” her story tells how her mother remained an unconquerable woman who retained her humor, despite every obstacle.
