The Glass Castle: A
Memoir, by Jeannette Walls describes the once secret childhood of the MSNBC
gossip columnist. She, along with her three siblings, grew up in a nomadic
family that moved between desert towns and camping by mountains for a while.
Difficulty providing for her family led her mother to concern over her painting
more than her children; meanwhile, her father chose to diminish his problems
through drinking. In the memoir, Jeannette writes about her struggle as a child
and her escape from the lifestyle her parents had set forth. Through the recommendations
of many of my friends as well as past teachers I have chosen to read this as my
independent book for the marking period. I look forward to seeing how she
describes her childhood and experiences and seeing how she came to be a success
from an unfortunate situation.
