The absolute best book I have read this year is The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. It is about a family who lived in poverty for years and moved from place to place (including the desert and a West Va. mining town) despite the fact that the father was an engineer and the mother a teacher. Neither parent really wanted the responsibility of a family and a full time job to interfere with their creativity. The father's dream was to one day build a Glass Castle for the family to live in. This is a true story of the life of Ms. Walls, who recently left a journalist's job at MSNBC for a career as a writer. The mother and father both chose homelessness over a more stable lifestyle even later when the grown children tried to intervene and offer their help.
