The Glass Castle

After years of never feeling quite normal, the trio of the Walls siblings, Brian, Lori, and Jeanette, decide to start a fund to leave Welch and just leave Welch. It all started with Jeannette. She saw that people got stuck in Welch but always had a belief that eventually things would get tough enough that her parents would decide to move again. As the siblings lived in Welch, they felt outcasted from the other kids. This was because of their image as a family and other children could not sympathize with how the Walls' children lived their life. Maureen is the only child of the Walls that recieved sympathy from other parents because she was a charming child. The other siblings had a rough life and when Jeannette thought that she had her dad on her side, he wasn't there and that hurt her a lot. Lori is the first to join Jennette's escape fund and they work together to raise money to fill this escape plan to go to the creative energy of New York. Brian was told later and he decided to pitch in and do handy jobs, such as lawnmowing, chop wood, or cut hillside weeds. They raised money for a year and then, when they had accumulated so much, their dad made the money dissappear. Even through this event, they trudged on, collected money, and were lucky that Mrs. Sanders had toddlers that needed babysitting in a different city and would pay for the travel expenses of lori and for the babysitting. Because of this Lori was able to leave Welch and make her way to New York with 237.20 dollars as a budget in New York. Lori making it to New York was proof that there is a way out of Welch and Jeannette and Brian followed.
