Hello, my name is Hunter, and a story that is important to me is the story of Jeanette in the Glass Castle. Despite having to read it for school, I could relate how she grew up to how my parents were also raised. It helped me see how some people can really struggle in life and despite that, they can be successful and intelligent. When I was reading through the book, I could relate a lot of the experiences of Jeanette and her family to the way my father was raised. He was raised in a small house, constantly moving around with a father who drank and smoked in excess.
