Jeannette Walls grew up with three siblings, an imaginative intelligent
father when sober and a absent father when drunk, a mentally-spazzy mother when
pressured and an artist when she dreamed of a better life. Childhood took them
all over the west: living in one spots no longer then a couple weeks, and
poverty constantly following them everywhere.
Once the money ran out for good, the family settled in Welch, West
Virginia, where Jeannette’s fathers haunted family lived. Welch became the
first place the Walls family did not leave after a couple of weeks of residing
there. However, Welch was not good to the children for a long time. For years
the parents gradually started to neglect their children, and the children
started surviving on their own. Finally, when they started coming of age, and
only then, did the children escape Welch and it’s horrors to New York. With the
parents behind them, for now, they we’re able to grow and make something of
their dreams!
The Glass Castle will remain an affecting and effectible read for years
to come. Throughout the book Jeannette Walls, the author, remains honest and
blunt about her childhood and rough experiences that protruded from it. Her
heart expresses itself boldly in ink and words. The emotion Walls pulls out of
the closet in your soul is masterfully done. The time you put in and the
thoughts you pull out from this book will be to your avail. The things you will
be reminded of or have never thought of will surface. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry,
you’ll be furious, you’ll be relieved. The Glass Castle is one of a kind that
deserves your focus.
