The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls

I really liked reading the story of how Jeanette took the lessons she learned in life to rise above her circumstances and live the American dream. It was so refreshing to learn about someone who acknowledged she had received a rotten hand in life and rather than expecting others to do something about it, she took destiny into her own hands and made her life something worthwhile. Sure, there are some disturbing things in this book, but only things mentioned in passing with only very brief details. I just laughed every time her mom said that it was time to do something for herself after everything she has done for others; all the sacrifices she had made. I wanted to say to her, "What sacrifices, what have you done?"
