I’m glad I was fortunate enough to attend this event which had a tremendous turnout. “The Glass Castle” was quite riveting and I believe a good choice for the One Book, One Campus program. Ms Walls’ speech seemed to be motivational in her encouragement of people being true to themselves as well a compassionate to others. I also appreciated her being able to stay as late as she did to autograph everyone’s book.
