The Glass Castle

I'm reading this book called "The Glass Castle". It is true story based on the life of Jeannette Wells, a writer and journalist known as former gossip columnist for MSNBC.com. In this book she tells about her childhood troubles and about how her family struggled because her mother and father refused to work. They traveled from town to town never settling down long enough for the kids to go to school. She had three siblings and they all had to take care of themselves. In the beginning of the book she tells about how she set herself on fire when she was three, while making herself some hot dogs because her mother wouldn't cook for her. This book is truly a tale of overcoming, forgiving and moving forward from a tough past.
