Produktbeschreibung
DeLaine is in 7th grade at Samson High. She is 12 and on the verge of turning 13; a milestone. Learning about the changes she's feeling in her body and mind, DeLaine realizes that physical feelings don't always mean true love, as she thought when she was younger. Nevertheless, she develops feelings for Kevin Strong, her psychopathic stepbrother's best friend and "King" of 8th grade. If he wasn't untouchable for one reason - Geoffrey's jealousy - then he is untouchable for his difference in age and status. Kevin doesn't share her thoughts about their relationship being taboo. DeLaine is obliged to push Kevin away to minimize the abuse she will endure if her stepbrother ever knows her true feelings for his best friend. She has a budding friendship with one of the popular girls, Bailey Rains, and is surprised when Bailey shows nothing but warmth and kindness to a "complete zero" like her. DeLaine's self-esteem gradually begins to develop as she spends more time with Bailey. Just when her life seems to be on an even keel, her stepmother comes home from the mental hospital. DeLaine's new defiance allows her a different way to deal with the abuse she constantly receives from her step-monsters as she navigates adolescence. The first book in the series is Dust in the Wind and occurs just after the tornado of Terrible Tuesday, April 10th, 1979 in Wichita Falls, TX. The journey of DeLaine Reynolds continues as she navigates the first half of 7th grade at Samson High.

Autorenporträt
SaDonna Rogers wrote the DeLaine Reynolds Journey series after carrying the story around for over 30 years. She survived the events of "Terrible Tuesday" (April 10, 1979) in Wichita Falls, TX which is the catalyst of the series. She wrote the fictional tale, which is inspired by actual events because she wanted to give a voice to many who survive not just natural disasters, but disasters in their own home lives as well. She has crafted a story of hope, survival, love and friendship for all ages. The author lives in Goliad, TX with her menagerie of rescue animals. A mother to a former Army soldier and grandmother of two, Ms. Rogers hopes her story inspires others to find their own voice and hope, no matter what their circumstances may be.
