Author Jeannette Walls

Author and MSNBC correspondent Jeannette Walls will speak at 1 p.m. Saturday, January 28th at the Neenah Public Library, 240 E. Wisconsin Avenue.

Walls is the author of "The Glass Castle: A Memoir," that recounts her youth meandering around the U.S. with her parents and siblings living in cars and abandoned homes, often on the run from the authorities, until the family ends up living in abject poverty in a shack in West Virginia. A side of homelessness and child neglect that’s never been told so explicitly, the book is impossible to put down.

"The Glass Castle" has been chosed as the book selection for Neenah Reads!.

For more information about Wall's appearance or Neenah Reads!, please call the library at (920) 886-6315.
