The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls
353 Pages, Published In 2005
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
What a heartwarming memoir by Jeannette Walls! Throughout the book, I was captivated by the beautiful and candid writing of her love for her family- the flawed parents, four siblings. Her father was alcoholic; mother was selfish; life was hard with a nomadic family of six without stable jobs. However, the love was salient. The father-daughter relationship was tenderly written. Jeanette was the champion of her journey. Thanks the author for sharing the journey with readers.
