Glass Castle

What doesn’t kill you, only make you stronger Through The Glass Castle, Jeannette shows the world how an impoverished, neglected girl grows into a successful author and wife. Jeanette, herself, is a living proof of ultimate success showing the world that no matter what situation you come from, ultimate success is completely possible. She starts out with memories from the time when she was as young as three along with the rest of her family, constantly on the move, deserted towns in the middle of the night "Rex Walls ' style” and lived in numerous places, all the way up to her present-day.

The last moment of Jeanette and Rex together proved just how much Janette loved and trusted her father despite the hardship he brought into the family and made her life a living chaos.

Their last conversation together ascertains her appreciation and trust in her father, as Rex winked and pointed his finger at Janette, asking the usual question, “Have I ever let you down?” He knew that there was only one way Janette could ever answer that question (279). And she did, she smiled like how she has been doing all those year, trusting him, believing in him. Her dad’s weakness did not leave her bitter; instead she rose over the occasion to love the man.
