Verteld door:
In this moving narrative of national memory, The Girl in Blue tells the reveals the story of an eleven-year-old girl who became a fixture in the history of President Kennedy's assassination in an instant. But Toni Glover's story runs deeper than the headlines. She was a lonely little girl who had gone to Dealey Plaza that day to seek solace and hope from a broken home. What does it mean to be a witness to history and one of the last keepers of the truth when so much of that day has now devolved into heresy and conspiracy?
Now an English professor, Glover blends emotional insight, survivor’s humor, and a voice never before heard in the vast JFK canon. Long before she was frozen in time, Glover was already navigating a quiet war zone at home. A shockingly cruel father, an emotionally exhausted mother, and the terrifying realization that she might be safer outside her home than within it. For Glover, JFK’s assassination doesn’t shatter a stable world—it confirms what she already suspected. Grown-ups are dangerous, safety is an illusion, and anything and everything can change in a split-second.
The Girl in Blue is both a deeply human retelling of the assassination and an unforgettable coming-of-age memoir set against the moment America lost its innocence. Glover interweaves her personal narrative with carefully researched historical detail and reconstructs this national nightmare and intimate trauma. We meet the players in their final, ordinary hours—JFK adjusting his back brace, Jackie selecting her pink suit, Oswald pacing his rented room, wrestling demons that would change the course of American history—and the life of one determined girl.©2027 Toni Glover (P)2027 Recorded Books
