The Glass castle - Jeanette Walls

The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls

June book club book. I really enjoyed this one -- it also sparked a lot of conversation amongst the group. It's a memoir about a girl who grows up virtually homeless -- alcoholic dad, some sort of undiagnosed chemically imbalanced mom, and three other self-sufficient siblings. It's well written and poignant and makes be really thankful I grew up where and how I did. It's amazing the amount of adversity these kids overcame to become well-rounded adults.

Four bookmarks!
