Description

New York Times best-selling author Jeannette Walls, known for her memoir, “The Glass Castle,” will headline an event for Harford County Public Library at Water's Edge Events Center at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 25.  

Named by Amazon as one of the top 10 books of the decade, "The Glass Castle" details Walls' life growing up in extreme poverty and the tale of her emergence from it.
