A celebrated journalist and author, Jeannette Walls takes audiences inside her hard-fought journey, delivering a compelling first-person testament of the various struggles and long-lasting emotional burdens of destitution. She ignites our innate belief in possibility as she reveals how unyielding determination and hope for the future enabled her to overcome unimaginable obstacles.
Inc. Magazine said the following about Jeannette and her memoir,The Glass Castle:
"If you start reading this, clear your calendar for the next three days. You won't be able to put it down. The Glass Castle is a memoir, a true story about a girl who grows up in an unconventional, quirky, and poor family. What makes the book so enthralling (it has spent more than seven years on the NYT bestseller list) is the fact that, despite her almost unbelievable upbringing, she continues to find things to be thankful for. This book acts as both a movie in prose and a reality check."
