   Summary: You had me on page one!
I have read many, many memoirs but this one tops them all. The author's voice is real and fresh . Her story is compelling. Who could imagine a life such as this? I read this practically in one sitting. Then I got on Amazon.com and ordered 4 more to have sent to friends and family.
This is an example of an author who hooks you in her opening page. Don't believe me? Read the first page....

   Summary: Absolute Perfection!
This book was so incredibly hard to put down. Its a tough read in the sense that it is so truthful about the hard lives of these children; however, with each page turned I began to accept their parents for who they were just as the children did and was better able to understand them. The writer did a fantastic and brave job with this print. My favorite of this year by far!

   Summary: A Truly Authentic Account!
I finished The Glass Castle in a few days. It was truly a wonderful read. Jeanette is as close to a modern day super woman as you can possibly get. It was amazing to read about all she and her family had been through. One would think she would just follow the footsteps of her father and being an alcoholic...but with a brilliant mind! She, however, did not. She used all her situations and turned them into valuable life lessons. She is an authentic example of how hard work and determination can get you to any place in life you desire! I look forward to seeing more of Jeanette's literary works in the future!

   Summary: This is a stunning book!
This is the first Memoir I can remember reading and saying it was a page turner and one of the best books I have ever read!! Your heart goes out to the children of the Walls family but then you don't want to but you do you feel sorry for the parents. What a journey this family had from the West coast, to Phoenix, AZ, Texas, a small mining town in West Virginia and finally NYC! This book will be with me for quite some time.
