The Glass Castle

Texas Family Land

In the book "The Glass Castle" Rose Mary Walls asks Jeannette to loan her a million dollars to buy her brothers half of the family land in Texas. This was the first time Jeannette realized that her mothers half of the land could be worth so much. Did Rose Mary get the money to buy the land and does she still own all of it (hers and her brothers half)?

From the text, we can infer that Rose Mary never got the money to buy her brother's share of the land in Texas. Whether or not the land remains in Jeanette's family is not mentioned.

"That land's been in the family for generations," Mom said, "and it's staying in the family. You never sell land like that."

I told Mom I didn't think Eric would lend me a million dollars to buy some land in Texas, and even if he would, I wouldn't borrow it from him. "It's too much money," I said. "What would I do with the land?"
