Jeannette Walls grew up with parents whose ideals and stubborn nonconformity were both their curse and their salvation ... Hers is a story of triumph against all odds, but also a tender, moving tale of unconditional love in a family that despite its profound flaws gave her the fiery determination to carve out a successful life on her own terms.

Jeannette has also written about her grandmother Lily in Half broke horses, a true-life novel.
