The Glass Castle

Based on the memoir, The Glass Castle is now a movie--and it's playing on Amazon.  Woody Harrelson plays the complicated father--a charming talker, but all-talk, an alcoholic, capable of affection and rage, full of plans never realized.

The daughter who writes the book, Jeannette, is his favorite child and her love for him as a child is, in part, sustained by his elaborate plans to build a glass castle for the family, with a spiral staircase to her room.
