The Glass Castle is an emotional memoir. This inspirational biography tells about Jeannette Wall's escape from her dysfunctional family. Her mom and dad were free spirits.

It amazed me that the author left her family still sane. It also surprised me that she still loved her parents after what they did to the family. Her unconditional love for her parents is heartwarming and refreshing. This inspirational biography will make people appreciate their families more.
