Book 2: The Adventures Of Fieora Radcliff
In the engaging story of Fieora Radcliff, Jeanne Linton presents a powerful portrayal of a complex young girl struggling and searching for her own identity in a broken family. Intelligent and resourceful, but also impetuous, sometimes implacable and impish, often pushy and self-centered, Fieora seems to be on a self-absorbed mission to make herself happy while punishing everyone else. She is overweight and overbearing with very few friends. Her father, Randall, an affluent store owner is struggling to raise Fieora alone after his wife, Ginger, has deserted the family several years earlier. Mrs. Minerva is the kindly housekeeper, but certainly no match for the angry bitter Fieora.
As the story unfolds, Fieora is kidnapped and her ill-tempered behavior will now be unleased on two unwitting and grossly unprepared captors. Facing great danger and uncertainty, Fieora remains obstinate and uncooperative, eventually forcing her inept kidnappers to feel as though they are the captives. Immediately following her rescue and dramatic return home, Fieoraís mother suddenly reappears from life in a circus to reclaim her daughter. The brief reunion and a new life in the circus, however, are doomed to fail as a frustrated Fieora balks at her motherís expectations and runs away. When all seems lost, a chance meeting with a poor Cajun family flips a switch that will change her life forever. Self-awareness and personal growth are powerful forces.
The new Fieora, on a return visit to her father, is moved to the home of the Pringle family where she is asked to help out. Initially she resists the arrangement but ends up attaching herself to the family and discovering her faithful mount, Canterberry.
Many years later she returns to Witherspoon and contacts the Pringle family and experiences a joyous reunion. Come, read all about it.
