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  after his wife, Ginger, had 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 unleashed 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, Fieora’s 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 mother’s 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. Come, read all about it!

Hildegard’s Hen House

Have you ever looked into the eyes of a hen and wondered what she’s thinking. Or is she even thinking at all? Is there intelligent life behind those somewhat beady eyes? Does she see the world in the way we see it? Is she capable of friendship? Is she capable of loving others, of caring for them, of sharing, and is she capable of understanding the complicated processes of cause and effect? 

Did you know there’s a rigid pecking order in the hen house? If you watch the goings on in the chicken coop you’d be surprised to discover what an intricate society they actually have. In order to have a peaceful chicken coop did you know there’s an ideal ratio of roosters to hens, between ten to twelve hens to one rooster… otherwise things could get ugly.

There are many different breeds of chickens from the small bantam to very large chickens of which there are many different varieties. Some chickens make good pets because they are loyal and loving and yet some breeds are simply kept for food or egg production. So you see my friend, there’s a lot more involved with chickens than simply a chicken dinner or a fried egg. 

The story of Hildegard’s Hen House came to me while I was helping my daughters clear out their father’s home so he could get into senior care. It’s me, the old woman, and this is my story as I see it, along with a little stretch of imagination. Please join me in the adventure.
