Glory Be: Glorious Historical Fiction!


Let your reading imagination take you to a different time and place....  In 1964 Mississippi, Gloriana faces her twelfth birthday and experiences changing relationships with her older sister and with her best friend, Frankie.  At the same time, tempers flare in her hometown as debate heats up over a segregated public swimming pool.   

Drawing on real-life experiences, first-time author-- and former librarian at the Library of the Chathams-- Augusta Scattergood shares a memorable story about family, friendship, and important life choices. 

Ms. Scattergood will read from Glory Be and talk about The Writer’s Journey at the Library of the Chathams on Wednesday, August 1, 2012, from 4:00 to 5:00 pm.  The program is designed for grades two-and-up... come prepared to listen, to be entertained, to be inspired.
