ParticipantI was at a spa in Mexico and could NOT put down The Glass Castle….it was so good that I actually missed out on spa treatments, African drumming and yoga classes!
I saw Jeanette Walls speak at the Smithsonian about 18 mos ago, while on a trip to D.C. She was fabulous and, the remarkable thing is, she does not really blame her parents.
The other remarkable thing is she has never been to a therapist. Shocking. After what she went through, I would have thought she would be bitter, angry, resentful, etc.
Her mother lives with Jeanette and her husband in Virginia.
Marion, I HIGHLY recommend this book. It’s a wonderful example of someone determined to overcome a dysfunctional family.

Wow, Marion I apprechiate this topic, it made me think about the fact that I don’t read enough literature/nonfiction 🙁
Seattle, yeah. I’ve been reading too much of one author lately and feel I need to branch out. I haven’t read Lerner, I need to check her out. My recent psychology read has been Freud. Seattle, do you reside in Cali?
Dharmagirl, the Glass Castle sounds familiar, I wonder if I’ve browsed it before. At any rate, I’m going to check it out and it MUST have been good if you misssed a spa treatment. haha. 🙂
Ok, I’m off to go look at houses.
