A parent should reach for this book when their teenager is struggling to fit into a community with rigid expectations or feels their voice is being silenced by authority. This poignant story follows thirteen-year-old Glory Mason, a spirited girl living in a conservative West Virginia Christian community where her natural curiosity and independent streak are viewed as rebellion. As Glory pushes against the status quo, she faces increasing isolation and a physical challenge that puts her survival at risk. Emotional themes of justice, self-confidence, and the heavy price of belonging make this an ideal choice for adolescents navigating social or religious pressures. The book is most appropriate for ages 12-16, offering a realistic look at how one young person maintains her integrity when the world demands conformity. Parents will appreciate the way it validates the difficult emotions of being an outsider while sparking conversations about faith, fairness, and the importance of staying true to oneself.
