Watching Glory Die
About this book
Glory is a troubled teenage inmate who, in her solitary prison cell, is tormented by hallucinations. While she battles the creature in her mind, her adoptive mother Rosellen struggles to remain connected to her daughter, believing that she can sense Glory's feelings no matter the distance. In the prison halls, Gail, a working-class guard, glides between her conscience and her professional duties, knowing her actions could ultimately lead to a tragic end.

#1
My
brother
James
had
a
glass
eye.
From
fallin’
on
a
barbed
wire
fence
when
he
was
only
six.
He
would
pop
it
out,
throw
it
in
the
air,
and
catch
it
in
his
mouth
to
scare
people.
Joker,
eh?
You
woulda
liked
James.
Everyone
liked
James—a
big
goofy
smile
for
everyone,
you
know?
So
just
like
Dad,
and
myself,
and
our
three
sisters,
James
went
into
corrections
as
soon
as
he
gradu-
ated
the
college
corrections
course.
And
he
went
in
with
exactly
the
right
attitude:
this
is
not
social
services,
this
is
corrections.
is
is
jail.
ese
are
the
criminals,
and
we
are
what
is
keepin’
them
from

.
freedom.
We
are
the
screws
.
.
.
holdin’
in
the
deadbolt.
We
are,
basically,
in
a
cold
war.
