About the author

COLLEEN L. REECE writes under the pen name Connie Loraine and is one of Heartsong's most popular authors. Colleen learned to read beneath the rays of a kerosene lamp. The kitchen, dining room, and her bedroom in her home near the small logging town of Darrington, Washington, were once a one-room schoolhouse where her mother taught all eight grades! An abundance of love for God outweighed the lack of electricity or running water and provided the basis for many of Colleen's 140+ books.

Her rigid "refuse to compromise" stance has helped sell more than 6 million copies that help spread the good news of repentance, forgiveness, and salvation through Christ. Colleen helped launch Barbour Publishing's Romance Reader flip books, the American Adventure series, and her own Juli Scott Super Sleuth Christian teen mystery series. In 1998 Colleen was inducted into the HeartSong Hall of Fame in recognition for her contribution to Heartsong's success.

Such a nice and kind story. It's about a young little girl who lost parents and move to living with her aunt. She lost near every folks, but I doesn't give up and finds ways to be glad. Think that story is very english, find to be glad in saddest time, — it's one of the greatest trait of English people.

Oh, I'm so glad-glad-glad to know 'bout the "glad game".

Learn to play the game! A simple maybe naive but delightful children's book about optimism. Rejoice in your trials!

This book ultimately delivers a nice message, look on the bright side of life and you'll be happier, but it's simplistic. It's hard to believe that an entire town can be so besotted with a newcomer 11-year-old girl who has no filter. She's not charming, she's irritating and rude! Anyway, I liked this book better when I was younger and more simple-minded.
