But her family, her friends, and her teachers intrude, and she decides she needs a different life, one where her glory is truly safe. A story of one girl's struggle with herself, her life and her family. And the story of a family's struggle with a daughter/sister they can never hope to understand. An impressive new voice in youth literature, Sarah Brill's novel Glory tells the powerful story of a fifteen-year-old girl, who has just woken up in a hospital after an unsuccessful suicide attempt. Sarah Brill began writing for the theatre at the age of 15. She attended four National Young Playwrights Workshops before graduating to the National Playwrights Conference. Since then she has had several plays produced and broadcast on the ABC. Glory is her first novel.

Molly Rose Moone dreamt of worms the night before she married Jimmy Brown in Tooting Bec. Milky sticky wet worms wriggled and fed off one another in clumps all over the bed. Breast deep. The young couple were on their way to Australia. When Molly agrees to go on a journey across hemispheres she's looking for an escape from home, distraction. Once there she meets Marj. Fat Marj. This is a story of love and obsession, of seductions and transformations. The threading together of skins, of bodies. It's a story about metamorphosis, taking and eating, larvae and pupae, the risks of stagnation. Possibilities of death.
