The Glass Castle (GMBA)


The child of an alcoholic father and an eccentric artist mother discusses her family’s nomadic upbringing, during which she and her siblings fended for themselves while their parents outmaneuvered bill collectors and the authorities.

I really liked this book. I can't believe how hard her life was and how successful she became in spite of it. Connor -Stowe

Shocked and angered by the mother. I thought she cared at the beginning but after she hid and ate the candy bars-I was finished with her!

I just read "Stolen Lives" about a woman and her family that were held as prisoners in a desert jail for 20 years. Great story if you like reading about people overcoming adversity.
