Unleash Your Creativity: Week 2


Just finished The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, recommended by my friend Carmin. The Glass Castle a 2005 memoir detailing the struggles she faced throughout her childhood with an alcoholic father and a self-interested mother who cared more about her art and happiness than her children. The book follows her life as a vivid and unique family slowly falls apart, leaving Jeanette and her siblings, Brian, Lori, and Maureen, to fend for themselves. This story is about Jeanette and her quest to find the answer to the question: "Can loyalty and hard work always be enough to keep a family together?" Less than 300 pages, but a great read! Reminded me of my own childhood & family issues. A must-read! Now what should I read next? Suggestions are certainly welcome!
