The Glass Castle

I finished a memoir last weekend, The Glass CAstle by Jeannette Walls. I may be in love with Memoirs for a while. The young lady who lived this life, the author, conquered the world by surviving her childhood with her siblings and coming through the event a hero.

Her parents were self absorbed and forgot to even get food for the children to eat. The searched garbage cans and dumpsters for food while their mother painted and the father drank and gambled.

It was a moving rendition I hated to complete.
