Summary:
"What could be cooler, thinks teen Elizabeth Garber in 1965, than to live in a glass house designed by her architect dad? When Elizabeth Garber, her visionary architect father, and the rest of their family move into Woodie Garber's modern masterpiece, a glass house, in 1966, they have no idea that over the next few years their family's life will be shattered-both by Woodie's madness and the turbulent 1970s. This haunting memoir follows Elizabeth's inspiring journey to emerge from her abuse, gain an understanding and freedom from her father's control, and become a loving mother and a healer"--Page 4 of cover.
