The Glass Castle: A Memoir by Jeannette Walls

The Glass Castle is a remarkable memoir of resilience and redemption, and a revelatory look into a family at once deeply dysfunctional and uniquely vibrant. When sober, Jeannette’s brilliant and charismatic father captured his children’s imagination, teaching them physics, geology, and how to embrace life fearlessly. But when he drank, he was dishonest and destructive. Her mother was a free spirit who abhorred the idea of domesticity and didn’t want the responsibility of raising a family. The Walls children learned to take care of themselves. They fed, clothed, and protected one another, and eventually found their way to New York. Their parents followed them, choosing to be homeless even as their children prospered. The Glass Castle is truly astonishing—a memoir permeated by the intense love of a peculiar but loyal family.

Rebel by Francis J. Shaw

Rebel: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Unique Philosophy Of Living by Francis J. Shaw We enter the world screaming. At some point earlier in our lives... we stop. We settle down. Conformity first encourages, then trains, and finally demands we put aside our blaring, obstinate, confrontational younger selves. To grow up to become affable and agreeable. To fit in and contribute as society envisions until our death day arrives and we leave without fuss or drama. A prepaid funeral, a final plus for good citizenship. Aware of our uniqueness, we desire to fit in and be accepted as individuals. Our spark slowly extinguishing with stress and struggle, the world says any discontent is all on us—we choose and decide. It’s a little disingenuous. We inherit the guidelines and definitions of success. Pushed to pursuing knowledge and learning at the expense of seeking wisdom. No wonder we revolt. Searching for some certainty, we form entrenched beliefs, highly motivated not to consider we might be w

The Hermit of Fishcrescent Island by Owen Sieffre
