I second psychmomma’s recommendation of The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls! In addition, and perhaps even more fascinating, is her later book: Half Broke Horses. If anyone picks these up, read Half Broke Horses first, as it provides the backstory to The Glass Castle. I’m an avid reader and these remain my favorite books for the last year or two! Great thread!
