I finally started reading The Glass Castle the other day and I am glad so far. I have only read about the first 50 pages and so far it is really good. Jeanette seems like a child in a family that is very free! They are constantly on the run from bill collectors and her parents don't seem to pay much attention to rules or watching after their children closely. First Jeanette burns herself horribly and then later she falls out of the car (her parents returned for her after quite a drive!). Her father is an alcoholic - verbally abusive at times but also loving at others.
So far I haven't decided what my opinion is on her parents' upbringing - are the negligent or hippies??
