A tender, moving tale of unconditional love unfolds within a profoundly flawed family that fueled the author's determination to forge a successful life on her own terms. Jeannette Walls grew up with parents whose ideals and stubborn nonconformity were both a curse and a salvation. Rex and Rose Mary Walls had four children and initially lived like nomads, moving among Southwest desert towns and camping in the mountains. Rex, a charismatic and brilliant man, inspired his children with lessons in physics and geology, teaching them to embrace life fearlessly when sober. Rose Mary, an "excitement addict," pursued painting and writing over family responsibilities, finding little joy in cooking meals that would be quickly consumed. As financial struggles mounted and the allure of their wandering life faded, the family retreated to a dismal West Virginia mining town, the very place Rex sought to escape. His drinking and irresponsible behavior escalated, forcing Jeannette and her siblings to fend for themselves. Despite their parents' betrayals, they supported one another and ultimately found the strength to leave home. What is remarkable about Jeannette Walls is not just her tenacity and intelligence but her deep affection for her parents. Her story is one of triumph against the odds, revealing a profound love that shaped her journey. After two decades of hiding her roots, she now shares her remarkable story.
