The Glass Castle – Jeannette Walls

The Glass Castle is a 2005 memoir written by Jeannette Walls who writes about her unconventional and poverty-stricken upbringing of her and her siblings at the hands of her deeply dysfunctional parents.

The book sold over 2.7 million copies by 2007 and had been translated into 22 languages while spending 261 weeks on the New York Times Bestseller List.
