摘要
Betrayed by someone she thought she could trust and picked up by the police in Boston, Glory finds herself placed in a foster home with a kind, elderly couple. The Kellys give Glory everything that she thought was lost to her forever-a place to call home, people she can count on, and the security of feeling like she belongs. But still, Glory can't be completely honest with the Kellys. Then her health starts to fail, and she realizes that unless she admits to her past-and Katie's death-there's nothing that the Kellys, or anyone, can do to help her.

Gr 5-8-Glory, 13, was banished from her isolated religious community in West Virginia because of a tragic accident for which she was held responsible. Keeping a promise to her dead friend, Katie, she made her way to Boston, where she became caught up in the social welfare system and was placed in a foster home in Brookline. Now, in this third entry in the series, she wonders how she can embrace the hope of a new family when her own people have condemned her. What awaits her is a series of new beginnings: first with the Kellys, her foster family; a new, modern school, where she feels immediately out of place; and the tentative gestures of friendship from a boy in her class. Adolescents will relate to Glory's awkward moments and to the loyalty she feels for Katie. However, an impending sense of doom builds, and the final scenes in this installment seem more forlorn than anticipatory. As a whole, the twists and turns in the story line do not quite ring true.-Roxanne Myers Spencer, Western Kentucky University, Bowling Green (c) Copyright 2010.

These books continue the saga of Glory, who's sure she's going to die any minute from the "poison" she was forced to drink when she was cast out of her fundamentalist West Virginia town. In the third and final installments, she becomes accustomed to life with her Boston foster family and returns home long enough to tell her mother she's survived. These overwritten novels are melodramatic. [Review covers these Glory titles: [cf2]Blue Girl[cf1] and [cf2]Forget Me Not[cf1].] From HORN BOOK Spring 2004, (c) Copyright 2010.
