Still, self-doubt holds Anela back.Then a senator teaches her about the many world leaders who have used their childhood trauma to do great things. The hope that Anela can turn her pain into something beautiful gives her back her spark and encourages her to enter the contest. But does she have the confidence to share her essay in front of an audience?Anela's Club is a coming-of-age story about rising above tragedy and learning to view life through a lens of hope and love.
