Anna's role in her family of gospel singers is an important one—far away from the stage. Every member of the Glory family is blessed with abundant musical talent. Everyone, that is, except for Anna. She can't sing or play an instrument, so the family counts on her to sell their music at performances. Naturally, she feels completely left out. When her black sheep Uncle Newt is released from prison, Anna feels oddly close to him, even though they've never met before. After all, Newt must know what it means to feel like an outsider. But when the Glorys' tour bus crashes and her loved ones are in danger, Anna can't sit on the outside any longer. The Glory Girl is a funny, moving tale of one oddball kid finding her place in her family, and in the world. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Betsy Byars including rare images from the author's personal collection.
