The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I'm reading this book for the second time because the author, Jeannette Walls, is coming to speak at McKendree University pretty soon and I can't wait to hear her. Her memoir crystallized something I already knew--I can probably get by on less stuff than I think can. Her eccentric family may have been dysfunctional in some people's eyes but I liked them. Jeannette adored her father, except for when he got drunk and was abusive. Kids are quite resilient though, and this family exemplifies that quality more than any I've ever known.
