For Jeannette McDonald, growing up in a small town in West Virginia in the 1950s, life had three particular jokes in mind: naming her after a famous movie star, giving her a birthday just after Valentine's Day, and letting her grow up on a street named Gladden-a place as far from glad as Jeannette was from being a movie star.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGrowing up is supposed to be a time of wonder and joy. For the girl on Gladden Street, the wonder was in discovering that when life plays jokes, anything is possible if you keep a healthy attitude. Ms. McDonald relates that some of life's harshest realities can lead to new awakenings and a better life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePeppered with a series of brief, episodic, coming-of-age vignettes that illustrate Ms. McDonald's life and much of the American landscape of the 1950s, The Girl from Gladden Street provides a reminder that some of our most valuable lessons come from events experienced during the most impressionable times of life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"iUniverse","offers":[{"title":"9.7806E+12","offer_id":50553132646706,"sku":"The Girl from Gladden Street  -Paperback","price":8.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8922\/3986\/files\/61BtO_FMfsL._SL1360.jpg?v=1761648286","url":"https:\/\/greylooponline.com\/products\/the-girl-from-gladden-street-paperback","provider":"greylooponline.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
