The Glass Castle: A Memoir Scribner ISBN13 9780743247542 Condition NEW Notes Brand New from Publisher No Remainder Mark a title Condition Guide href / content/ Condition and Shipping Guide htm target blank Click here to view our Condition Guide and Shipping Prices / a Jeannette Walls grew up with parents whose ideals and stubborn nonconformity were both their curse and their salvation Rex and Rose Mary Walls had four children In the beginning they lived like nomads moving among Southwest desert towns camping in the mountains Rex was a charismatic brilliant man who when sober captured his childrens imagination teaching them physics geology and above all how to embrace life fearlessly Rose Mary who painted and wrote and couldnt stand the responsibility of providing for her family called herself an excitement addict Cooking a meal that would be consumed in fifteen minutes had no appeal when she could make a painting that might last forever Later when the money ran out or the romance of the wandering life faded the Walls retreated to the dismal West Virginia mining town -- and the family -- Rex Walls had done everything he could to escape He drank He stole the grocery money and disappeared for days As the dysfunction of the family escalated Jeannette and her brother and sisters had to fend for themselves supporting one another as they weathered their parents betrayals and finally found the resources and will to leave home What is so astonishing about Jeannette Walls is not just that she had the guts and tenacity and intelligence to get out but that she describes her parents with such deep affection and generosity Hers is a story of triumph against all odds but also a tender moving tale of unconditional love in a family that despite its profound flaws gave her the fiery determination to carve out a successful life on her own terms For two decades Jeannette Walls hid her roots Now she tells her own story A regular contributor to MSNBC com she lives in New York and Long Island and is married to the writer John Taylor Jeannette Wallss father always called her Mountain Goat and theres perhaps no more apt nickname for a girl who navigated a sheer and towering cliff of childhood both daily and stoically In The Glass Castle Walls chronicles her upbringing at the hands of eccentric nomadic parents--Rose Mary her frustrated-artist mother and Rex her brilliant alcoholic father To call the elder Wallss childrearing style laissez faire would be putting it mildly As Rose Mary and Rex motivated by whims and paranoia uprooted their kids time and again the youngsters Walls her brother and two sisters were left largely to their own devices But while Rex and Rose Mary firmly believed children learned best from their own mistakes they themselves never seemed to do so repeating the same disastrous patterns that eventually landed them on the streets Walls describes in fascinating detail what it was to be a child in this family from the embarrassing wearing shoes held together with safety pins using markers to color her skin in an effort to camouflage holes in her pants to the horrific being told after a creepy uncle pleasured himself in close proximity that sexual assault is a crime of perception and being pimped by her father at a bar Though Walls has well earned the right to complain at no point does she play the victim In fact Walls removed nonjudgmental stance is initially startling since many of the circumstances she describes could be categorized as abusive and unquestioningly neglectful But on the contrary Walls respects her parents knack for making hardships feel like adventures and her love for them--despite their overwhelming self-absorption--resonates from cover to cover --Brangien Davis The Five Love Languages: How
