Jeannette Walls Biography

Jeannette Walls is author of the memoir, The Glass Castle, which has been on The New York Times best-sellers list for more than six years, has sold an incredible 3.5 million copies in the US, and was named one of the "Top 10 Books of the Decade" by Amazon. The Glass Castle details Walls' life growing up in extreme poverty and describes the unimaginable obstacles she faced. From the desert of the Southwest to the mountains of West Virginia to her parent's homelessness in New York City, Jeannette Walls' account of an impoverished life is a compelling and moving first-person testament to what it means to be poor. She explains in detail the effects of poverty and tells the tale of her emergence from it. In 2012, Lionsgate purchased the rights to The Glass Castle and will be releasing the movie starring Jennifer Lawrence from The Hunger Games.

Jeannette Walls is also a journalist whose work has appeared in New York Magazine, Esquire, USA Today, and MSNBC. In 2009, Walls published Half Broke Horses: A True Life Novel based on the life story of her grandmother Lily Casey Smith. It quickly surfaced on best-seller lists around the country, and was selected by Independent Book Sellers as their "Best Read." Her latest book, The Silver Star, released in June 2013, is a heartbreaking and redemptive novel about an intrepid girl who challenges the injustice of the adult world.
