The Glass Castle by Heidi Priebe

A candid, powerful memoir about a girl raised in extreme poverty by brilliant but troubled parents whose charm and idealism mask neglect and instability; the family drifts from one precarious situation to another, shaped by the father's alcoholism and the mother's stubborn independence, forcing the narrator to develop resilience, resourcefulness, and ultimately the determination to leave and build a stable life while confronting complicated feelings of love, anger, and forgiveness.
