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.

GLORY 
#1
GLORY
is 
onstage, 
drawing 
with 
her 
nger 
on 
her 
cell 
walls, 
an 
elaborate 
scene. 
She 
is 
writing 
a 
poem.
GAIL 
#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.
