‘The Silver Star’ Is Radiant [VIDEO]

When a book can maintain eight years as a number one New York Times Bestseller, it enters the level of a tour-de-force! It also says what a powerful storyteller Jeannette Walls is. The Glass Castle has been, by far, one of the most absorbingly told and popular memoirs of our time. And then, Ms. Walls follows up with Half Broke Horses: A True-Life Novel, that also became a runaway national bestseller.

Now, with her newest New York Times bestselling novel, The Silver Star, a Scribner Publication, Jeannette Walls has completed her extraordinary evolution from triumphant memoirist to novelist, reaffirming her exceptional ability to tell a timeless tale.

In our radio chat, Jeannette and I talked about her character's intrepid pursuit of justice in an unjust world and about doing the right thing in the face of great adversity. Ms. Walls is supremely alert to the abuse of adult power and shares with us, The Silver Star, a deeply moving novel that triumphs imagination and superb storytelling!
