The Glass Castle is an amazing story of one family's struggle. The life of an alcoholic father and an eccentric mother. The choices that they make and the way that those choices impact their children. The children were not abused, they were loved in a different way, but there was definite neglect going on. The parents got one thing right, their life of turmoil and strife would make the kids strong. The children experienced so much in their young lives which gave them the strength to beat the odds and make better lives for themselves than their parents could ever provide.
