Their parents followed them, choosing to be homeless even as their children prospered. They fed, clothed, and protected one another, and eventually found their way to New York. The Walls children learned to take care of themselves. Her mother was a free spirit who abhorred the idea of domesticity and didn’t want the responsibility of raising a family. But when he drank, he was dishonest and destructive. When sober, Jeannette’s brilliant and charismatic father captured his children’s imagination, teaching them physics, geology, and how to embrace life fearlessly. The Glass Castle is a remarkable memoir of resilience and redemption, and a revelatory look into a family at once deeply dysfunctional and uniquely vibrant. The extraordinary, one-of-a-kind, “nothing short of spectacular” ( Entertainment Weekly) memoir from one of the world’s most gifted storytellers.
