One of her best acomplishments is the book im reading now The Glass Castle. It was well percived by critics and the public, and I can see why. It has soold over 2.7 million copies, thats alot, and has been translated into twenty two other languages. The Glass Castle has won numerous awards like the Christopher Award and Paramount has bought the film rights. the said that Jenifer Lawrence has been casted as the role of Jeanette and i am really excited for that because the story is great and i love Jenifer Lawrence, so with her as lead it should be amazing.
Alittle background after her childhood,which you should read about in the glass castle, she moved to new york and and attended Barnard college and graduated from there with honors. She married Eric Goldburg but they got divorced in 1996. She is now fifty three and is settled down in virginia with her second husband John Taylor who is also a writer, a journalist. Jeanette has wrote some good quotes. A good quote i found is “Nobody's perfect. We're all just one step up from the beasts and one step down from the angels.” i like this quote because it shows noones better than everyone else and we are all made equal.
