Summary

"When teen 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 from her father's control, and become a loving mother and a healer"--Back cover
