Summary
A 14-year-old girl named Glinda lives in constant fear after her father, the family’s sole provider, was detained by immigration agents—leaving her to shoulder responsibility for her household while her siblings and mother face mounting anxiety. Once a carefree child who loved playing outside, Glinda now avoids even simple tasks like taking out the trash, and her school life has suffered from bullying and trauma. With her father’s case still unresolved and immigration enforcement ramping up in her community, Glinda’s family is trapped indoors, missing critical education and social growth. Despite support from friends and mentors, Glinda dreams of a future helping children—while today, she’s forced to navigate adulthood in the shadow of fear.
