Rain on My Wings


by Evelyn Horan


Linda Hodges' mother has just remarried and Linda is very unhappy. She decides to leave California and go to Texas to live with a beloved aunt to finish high school. Aunt Ruby and Uncle J. R. live on a very poor farm, and although Linda is surprised at the conditions they live in, she decides to stay in Texas. She begins to realize that Aunt Ruby is not happy, and when Uncle J. R. begins flirting with her and teasing her in a way that offends her, she is shocked and frightened.
Aunt Ruby believes that J.R. is a philanderer, but is her aunt being overly critical? He seems so cheerful and acts like his flirting is all in innocence. Linda becomes involved with school activities and begins to make new friends, but the conflict at home is emotionally draining, and Linda becomes more confused. She just doesn't know how to handle the problems that confront her.

This novel is a great departure from Evelyn's previous series about Jeannie, A Texas Frontier Girl, written for younger girls. This story is more mature and might help teens deal with sexual harassment in their own lives.

The characters are very sympathetic and memorable with a fast moving plot and an easy-to-read style that will have you laughing and crying as you share Linda's coming of age story. Keep up the good work, Evelyn. Your stories are so inspiring!
