The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls

emotional informative sad fast-paced

4.0

I will be thinking about this one for a long time! It was a heartbreaking memoir about family, addiction, dreaming, and overcoming. I watched a small clip of an interview with the author, and I wish I had caught on to the light heartedness with which she shares her story and her present joy. The book just felt heavy with pain and the parents' choices confusing. That being said, it was a fascinating window into an experience of poverty in America.
