Jeannette Walls is the author of three New York Times bestselling books: The Glass Castle, Half Broke Horses, and The Silver Star. Her first book, The Glass Castle, recounts her and her siblings' childhood spent in extreme poverty and chaos with parents who, despite their flaws, taught them to embrace life fearlessly. The Glass Castle was a New York Times bestseller for over eight years, was named one of the top ten books of the decade by Amazon, and has since been made into a movie starring Brie Larson, Woody Harrelson, and Naomi Watts.
Walls's most recent book, Hang the Moon, was released March 28. "A rollicking tale. with hairpin twists and turns of its plot" (The Washington Post), this book follows charismatic and indominable protagonist, Sally Kincaid, as she navigates growing up and finding her place in Prohibition-era Virginia. Hang the Moon has been named a LibraryReads Pick for March 2023 and a Most Anticipated Book of 2023 by Oprah Daily, Elle, and LitHub!

Fearless in both her writing and her life, Walls is a gifted storyteller who continues to captivate audiences with her unique perspective on overcoming obstacles, confronting challenges, and pursuing a life of authenticity.
