I loved The Glass Castle, marveling at how such a disfunctional childhood could also be loving and funny. I also loved Half Broke Horses. It fills in some of the blanks on how this family's eccentricities came about. It also paints a wonderful picture of hard-scrabble life in the dry desert west. I highly recommend this book!
