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.

The Hermit of Fishcrescent Island by Owen Sieffre

One Outsider… One Outcast… One Enchanted Island… In the wake of post-Reconstruction America, opportunities for African Americans remain scarce and fraught with challenges. Seeking a chance at adventure and a new beginning, 23-year-old Elijah takes a daring leap by accepting a position as a deckhand on a British merchant ship. His dreams of exploration swiftly turn into a nightmare when a legendary Kraken attacks, leaving Elijah as the sole survivor shipwrecked on the mysterious Fishcrescent Island. Here, he is no longer negro, Black, or African American. He is simply…the Outsider. Injured and starving, none on the island will vouch to care for Elijah—none except Esmee, the village outcast. At 26 years old, she is even more reclusive than the already reclusive islanders. Yet, despite their stark differences and the island’s deep-seated secrets, a bond begins to form between them as Esmee helps Elijah heal.

Interview with Adrian Gabriel Dumitru | Author of Mr & Mrs FREUD

Q: What sparked your passion for writing, and how has it evolved over time? Well … it’s a long story. I’ve started to write my first book at 16. Then I’ve wrote another one at 40. And into the last 4 years I’ve published 65 new books. Mostly essays. Q: How do you stay inspired and motivated to continue creating engaging stories? Today I write mainly essays.
