About this book
When orphaned Pollyanna Whittier is sent to live with her stern, duty-bound Aunt Polly in a small Vermont town, she brings with her the 'glad game'—a philosophy taught by her father to find joy in any circumstance. Through her relentless cheerfulness, Pollyanna begins to thaw her aunt's frozen heart, befriend a reclusive misanthrope, inspire a despairing minister, and uplift the town's lonely and dissatisfied souls. But when a tragic accident threatens to take away the very thing that defines her, Pollyanna must discover if her own game can sustain her, and the town she changed must learn to give gladness back.
