The Glass Castle is an inspirational narrative that invites the reader into an idiosyncratic and complex story of a family living on the margins of society and offers insight into overcoming hardship and disadvantage. The Glass Castle has been a New York Times best-seller for more than two years and is in production by Paramount to be made into a film.

Jeannette Walls is a former columnist with MSNBC and has made appearances on Prime Time Live, Good Morning America, Larry King Live, and Oprah.

Ms. Walls is an inspiration and an example of how one person can change the direction of his or her life. Caritas of Austin shares this belief and makes it a reality for many individuals—providing life-changing assistance--one person at a time.
