The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls

So far in this book, Jeanette has had to learn to be tough and not to rely on anybody except for herself. At the young age of only 3, she got really badly burned and was brought to the hospital. Her dad pulled her out even though she wasn't completely healed, but she never complained once. Also, she barely has any guidance from her parents because they go to bars and leave the kids alone for hours at a time. In one incident, she fell out of the car and flew on to the ground. Rocks dug into her face as she lay on the ground by herself. Eventually, her parents came back, but she spent a good amount of time injured, by herself, on the side of a highway.
