An amazing lady

I'm now reading The Glass Castle: A Memoir by Jeannette Walls. I saw this author speak about her work at the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy event here in Texas (http://www.barbarabushfoundation.com/). Jeannette Walls caught my attention when she read an excerpt from her book about her wearing "homemade" braces that she created as a teen because her family couldn't afford orthodontic work. Jeannette Walls's down-to-earth style of expression and insight captured my attention. Anyway, now I'm continuing her book and enjoying every chapter. She has an unforgettable story.
