SUMMARY:Summer Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Summer Book Club – June 25\, 2026 \n\n\n\nJoin us for the next CASA book group as we read The Glass Castle A Memoir by Jeannette Walls and is available in multiple versions on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/074324754X?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title \n\n\n\nThe Glass Castle is a remarkable memoir of resilience and redemption\, and a revelatory look into a family at once deeply dysfunctional and uniquely vibrant. When sober\, Jeannette’s brilliant and charismatic father captured his children’s imagination\, teaching them physics\, geology\, and how to embrace life fearlessly. But when he drank\, he was dishonest and destructive. Her mother was a free spirit who abhorred the idea of domesticity and didn’t want the responsibility of raising a family.The Walls children learned to take care of themselves. They fed\, clothed\, and protected one another\, and eventually found their way to New York. Their parents followed them\, choosing to be homeless even as their children prospered.The Glass Castle is truly astonishing—a memoir permeated by the intense love of a peculiar but loyal family.The memoir was also made into a major motion picture from Lionsgate in 2017 starring Brie Larson\, Woody Harrelson\, and Naomi Watts.
