IRB Intro #1 - "The Glass Castle" by Jeannette Walls

The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls is a memoir written in 2005 about a woman growing up with her dysfunctional yet loyal family. Her parents' behavior led to the children learning how to take care of themselves as well as function on an individual level as they found their own way in life with their parents following. Despite their success, their parents refuse to join them, choosing to remain homeless even after countless offers of aid. I chose this book as a recommendation from Ms. Pronko. This was the second time the book had been recommended for a non-fiction read, so I hope to be able to gain more interest in non-fiction by reading more stories that can draw me in starting with this one.
