Jeannette Walls Settles Down Far From the Noise of New York

The author of “The Glass Castle” spent years covering celebrities. When her book became a huge hit, she “skedaddled” to Virginia and didn’t look back.

Revitalization usually does not work.
Cheap rent is not enough.

Psychic Saw a New Home in Her Future, Before Crossing Paths With Police
