Travels Through Aqua, Green, and Blue: A Memoir by Mary E. Gregory.
If you liked The Glass Castle, you’ll adore this gripping and moving novel about a young girl’s triumph against childhood trauma and poverty.

When a person succeeds to break the pattern, some seemingly predetermined lives wind up somewhere else completely. From the outside, Mary’s mold had been shattered. Mary’s peaceful childhood was turned into a voyage of discovery among the world around her and all the possibilities that existed within her when the unexpected happened in her conventional southern family.Mary’s mother, feeling betrayed and unable to deal with this new reality after her father, a beloved preacher in her close-knit Tennessee community, came out as a gay man at the height of the AIDS epidemic, sent Mary and her siblings on a years-long cross-country odyssey through New York, Nevada, and many other places, eventually landing them in California.

At the start of this trip, Mary was a charming, innocent, and clever girl who had no idea what was going to happen to her. From her adventures through aqua, green, and blue, she would emerge stronger, wiser, and much more equipped for everything that was ahead of her in life.

I loved this story and the concept of it as well.I loved every page of it. Every chapter was exciting.
