Book of the Month: September 2026
Annabelle, the girl who was overlooked,
unwanted, insignificant, worthless.
summary:
Annabelle Fancher lives with her mother and her often-absent, alcoholic father. When he is not on the road, his presence at home creates heightened anxiety in his wife and daughter—fear caused by years of abuse. Annabelle copes with her circumstances by escaping into popular fairy tales where she dreams characters to life. When her dreams cross over into waking fantasies, and the ghostly image of a dreamed character appears before her, Annabelle begins a real struggle to separate reality from pretend and sanity from beautiful madness. This brave, young girl tenderly acquaints the reader with her lonely struggles while sharing her courage in the face of personal adversity. Hers is a story where realism and fantasy beautifully intertwine.
This fictional tale does an honest job of mirroring the unfortunate reality of many young people whose home lives are private nightmares unobserved by the outside world. Most of the events in this book were taken from the lives of individuals known by the author.

“Annabelle! Anna, come along, keep up with the class. Where’s your assigned buddy?” My eyes glanced from Mrs. Cosgrove’s soft, blonde hairdo to Ginger’s long, golden waves, both glimmering with a pretty sheen. My fingers fell from the brittle ends of my mangy haircut, and I obediently stepped in line behind Ginger and Elizabeth. Our tour guide marched us to another area of the park where a crowned oak tree towered over a long, narrow garden of colorful flowers. Among the blooms were heavy boulders, flat-faced and polished until they glistened like a row of reflective mirrors. More names were engraved in the stones. More provocative quotes scratched in bold print. I silently read the one on the end beside me.

RUSSEL HARVEY ARNETTFOUNDER / PHILANTHROPIST
“Phil ~ an ~ thro ~pist,” I whispered to myself. I would have to look up that word in class. It sounded impressive. Important. He must have been a beloved man to have his very own cold stone. “…and now we’ll head inside the library where you can browse through a reserved section of children’s books. Your teacher and I, along with two of our librarians, will assist you in checking out one book apiece. Remember to keep your voices low. This is a library.” I looked up in time to catch a friendly grin on the face of our tour guide. He was gesturing toward a set of glass doors that led inside a brick building behind the flower bed.
I stayed with the group this time, as eager as the others to find a new book, but not voicing my delight out loud. My ears picked up on Ginger’s conversation with Elizabeth and a blonde girl named Charlotte dressed in pressed, yellow cotton. Spotless, white daisy print smothered her sunny skirt. “My mom brings me here every weekend. It’s soooo easy to check out books. I’ve done it a hundred times already.” Elizabeth’s red hair fell as gently as autumn leaves as she tossed it over her shoulder, acting like an old pro at such things. Ginger’s fingers spread out like a fan. She nearly hit Lizzy’s nose holding her hand in her face. “I have five library books at home right now. All of them are about horses. I love horses!” Both the blonde and the redhead hopped a few times, moving excitedly along with the crowd. “Me too! Me too!” they exclaimed. Charlotte bragged, “My dad reads to me every night before bed. Sometimes I read to him. We’re finishing The Black Stallion. We’ve read it before, but I asked to read it again.” “I love when my dad reads to me. He makes the funniest voices!” Elizabeth made a face like a freckled pig and oinked. “My dad too!” Ginger said. “Mom lets us eat cookies when we read. We have our own story-time cookie jar.” The other girls looked jealous. Charlotte dared to challenge the claim. “You do not.” “Do so! My mom keeps it filled with cookies just for when we read.” There was a momentary exchange of speculative glances. Then Charlotte piped up, “I want to come over and read with you and your dad and eat cookies.” “Okay.” “Me too!” Elizabeth chirped. All three girls chattered about how fun it was going to be. I wished for long, pretty hair and shiny shoes and a new cotton dress so I too could go to Ginger’s house and eat cookies and tell stories and be wanted.
