The Glass Castle.

This book was last month what I was to read. I could not find it from the Lib. So I just waited until this week when sweet L let me borrow her copy I read it in a week. I could not believe how many trials this woman and her family went through. It has really made me stop and think about life and how I treat others and see the world. I am so glad that she was able to pull herself out of the situations and overcome by the ways of which she was raised. I wonder about people in my own community and the children that my children go to school with. What can I do to help more or teach my children to be more compassionate towards other people. I love when I read a book that makes me think and think. I liked the writing style. I learned that I need to be more grateful for the things I have and the great family to which I belong to. I am also so grateful to be a member of the church.

Book Tag

I was just Book Tagged from Jamie.
So what you are to do is go to pg 56 of the book you are reading and then type in the 5th sentence and post and the next 2to 5 sentences. Then tag 3 to 5 people.

So the book I am reading is Enemy Women by Paulette Jilles. "Adair went and sat by the fireon a barrel, tipped her hat back a little. They were all looking at it. Adair clenched her cold hands together and tried not to stare around her. They had been rained and sleeted upon all the way from the St. Louis and Iron Mountain Railroad terminal at Pine and River Streets. Now she could hardly keep her hands from shaking even though they were seized together."
I am almost done with this book. I promise. I tag Wendy, Melissa, Jeny
I am just glad that I am not in prison.
