The Glass Castle A Memoir

Jeannette's childhood is full of dreams and adventure. She knows, her father will build her a glass castle one day. But in order to live the future everyone in her family dreams of, they must overcome the obstacles of life itself. That alone seems impossible for them. And probably is... Knowing that this isn't fiction but Jeannette Walls' biography makes me cry every time. Through the eyes of her as a child, she guides the reader through her improbable growing-up. Her father, the central figure of everything good and bad that happened in her life, is at the same time relatable as well as a real-life monster. Walls tells the tale of the ugly truth and how one overcomes it with time. One of my all-time favorite reads!
