This book had me hooked from the start. It is a true story of love's endurance. Ms. Walls wrote a beautiful and moving memoir of her childhood and how that has brought her to her place in life. Even though her parents were dyfunctional in many ways, she writes from a place of love and sadness. She led an extraordinary early life and in many ways I envied her experiences. She was raised in a very quirky way and the glass castle, to me, represented all the promises left unfulfilled.
