Keynote Speaker: Jeannette Walls
Author of the bestselling memoir “The Glass Castle”
Still on The New York Times Paperback Best Sellers List
Now a Feature Film
A childhood memoir of resilience and redemption, “The Glass Castle” is a compelling look into a uniquely dysfunctional family. The Walls’ wildly unconventional parents loved their children but were incapable of caring for them. Jeannette will share the story of her childhood — a turbulent, free-spirited adventure punctuated by poverty and neglect — and how it shaped her life.
