I loved The Glass Castle. I loved how messed up it was and how we saw it through a child’s eyes. (Of course, I wouldn’t wish this kind of life on my worst enemy.) What really stood out was how unapologetic the writing was. This is a memoir that isn’t seeking pity. Jeanette just tells it like it is…

This book is so special to me. Whatever little heart strings I have, this book tugged away at each and every one of them. It is loaded with adventure, action, pain and wrapped in a bow of innocence. The child-like view was captured so well by the author. The had to grow up faster than…
