Jeannette Walls has been a reporter for New York magazine, Esquire, USA Today and MSNBC.com, where she currently works. Her memoir, The Glass Castle (2006), was a New York Times best-seller and is being turned into a movie by Paramount. It reveals Walls’ painful, deprived childhood and a life she once viewed as a shameful secret. Walls is also the author of Dish: The Inside Story of the World of Gossip. Her newest work is Half Broke Horses: A True Life Novel, the story of her grandmother, will be published this October. Walls lives in Virginia.
