'Glass Castle' author visits E.L.
A woman who grew up almost constantly on the move with her eccentric family discussed how her life has changed since sharing her memoir with the world Wednesday night at the Hannah Community Center. Jeannette Walls, whose book "The Glass Castle" was chosen for the "One Book, One Community" program, charmed an audience of about 750 guests with stories of people she has met since her book was published, as well as the reaction of those who knew her but didn't know her past struggles. The "One Book, One Community" program was created in the fall of 2002 and is designed to strengthen the relationship between the university and the community of East Lansing by giving students and residents a common bond. "The Glass Castle" covers Walls' unconventional childhood, her relationship with her parents who were careless and unkind at times and her own coming-of-age despite her difficult roots.
