The Glass Castle is a very interesting memoir from a child's point of view, in which she tells about her disgraceful upbringing and unconventional childhood. You will be astounded by her perseverance throughout the book, along with her bravery during rough times. She's the only one that supports her father in everything he does, yet he's the one that questions her innocence. She's the one that has to prove the innocence of her and her siblings. For example, when the incident with Erma and Brina occurred; when Erma tried to "feel" Brian, her father thought that they were making things up. Jeannette had to prove their innocence by trying to persuade her dad that they were just protecting themselves. Even when she attempts this he refuses to listen. I think that he should have listened to her too and not only his mother. I believe that just because he lives in her house it does not mean that he should let these terrible incidents occur.
