I have finished THE GLASS CASTLE and was truly moved. I have also listened to her on the Diane Rehm program and find it heartwarming to hear someone who has endured what she did move on, become successful and forgive, realizing that the love her parents had for her contributed to what she made of herself. I am eager to hear the discussion on the 18th.
It was a great discussion, and so lively, and after our discussion, I read the links you sent, which said a lot of what we said and expanded on it. There are so many parts of the book I loved - like when she made her own braces for her teeth! I think she is amazing and I am going to write her a fan letter. The last time I did that was way back, in, I think, the 1970's to James Herriott when I read All Creatures Great and Small and his other 3 books....
