The Glass Castle/Jeannette Walls/288 pgs.

This is our April book club read, and as such, one that I never would have picked up on my own to read. Jeannette Walls shares her unbelievable childhood--and not in a good way--with the reader. Her brilliant, but alcoholic father, and narcissistic mother, lead her and her siblings on an unforgettable journey into adulthood. Never knowing where, when, or how they will survive, the Wall children not only survive, but become productive adults. Truly remarkable.
