The Glass Castle is a vivid memoir that follows one family's unpredictable life from itinerant childhood to adult independence. The narrator recalls an imaginative yet unreliable father and a free-spirited mother, and how their children learned to look after one another while carving out their future.
Balancing sorrow and warmth, the book examines addiction, poverty, creative survival strategies, and the complex loyalties that bind family members. The narrative follows the siblings' journey to the city and the paradox of parents who remain on the margins even as their children prosper.
Adapted for film, the memoir combines clear, direct scenes with emotional honesty, offering readers insight into resilience, forgiveness, and the search for self-direction.

This seller was incredible. I purchased an inexpensive (used) book and was almost immediately notified that it shipped on the same day I ordered it. I received it within 2 days. It was exactly as described - it looked like it had never even been read! Great service & a great product. Thanks!
