Glennis, Before and After

Author: Calvert, Patricia

Twelve-year-old Glennis just wants her idyllic life back — the way it used to be before her father was sent to prison; before her mother broke down from the stress, and before she and her four siblings were farmed out to friends and relatives. Glennis chooses to live with her flighty Aunt Wanda so she can visit her father in prison and help him prove his innocence. But when things don’t turn out the way she expects, Glennis discovers that she has built her own prison and, in order to free herself, she must learn to accept and forgive.
