A parent would reach for this book when their teenager is struggling with the burden of perfectionism or feels like they are constantly managing everyone else's problems at the expense of their own well-being. Glimpsed follows Charity, a high schooler with the literal ability to see people's deepest wishes and a self-imposed duty to make them come true. The story is a modern, magical realism take on the 'fixer' personality, exploring themes of empathy, healthy boundaries, and the courage required to be authentic. It is perfectly suited for teens aged 12 to 18 who are navigating the high-pressure social hierarchies of high school. Parents will appreciate how it validates the desire to be kind while gently cautioning against losing one's identity in the service of others.
