Jeannette Walls:
The Glass Castle: Demon Hunting and Other Life Lessons
"Walls has a telling memory for detail
and an appealing, unadorned style."
-New York Times
An Amazon top 10 "Book of the Decade" and New York Times best-sellerThe Glass Castle has been deemed everything from spectacular to riveting, yet it almost didn't get written. As a New York-based gossip columnist writing about the rich and famous, Jeannette Walls was ashamed of her past---food, indoor plumbing, clean clothes, and stability in general were scarce during her childhood. Finally, those close to her convinced her to just "tell the truth." So she did. As dire as her childhood was at times, Walls shares her stories with levity, grace, humility and hope, poking fun at her many stranger-than-fiction family adventures. Presenting to standing room-only crowds around the country, Walls takes audiences on a journey filled with magic, hardship, chaos, and joy.
A major motion picture about Walls' life is currently in development. Her latest book, Half Broke Horses: A True Life Novel, arrived in October 2009 and immediately rose to the top of the New York Times best-seller list.
