The Glass Castle by Jannette Walls : 

     The Glass Castle is a memoir writing by Jannette Walls in which she reveiled her own story and the truth about her roots after two decades of hiding them .It is a book I couldn't put down. an unbelievable story of poverty, dysfunction and survival. The book tells the story of Jannete's dysfunctionnal family , and discribes  the struggles she faced throughout her childhood with an alcoholic father and a self-interested mother who cared more about her art and happiness than her children.
As I was reading the book, I felt extremely angry at Jeanettes father for making his family victim of his irresponsible stupidity and not holding a steady job; I was extremely angry at her mother for living in a made-up world. However I was so amazed by how in the end  the children - including Jannette- succeeded and used their experience for the better.
