Bookroo's summary

Rainbow Jordan stands at a crossroads, too bold for childhood yet fearful of womanhood. As she navigates this tumultuous journey, she must confront her deepest fears and discover her true identity. Will she find the courage to embrace her future, or will the shadows of her past hold her back? Dive into a powerful tale of self-discovery and resilience, where every choice could define her path.

From the publisher

Here is Rainbow Jordan: too brave to be a child, too scared to be a woman. “Powerful, eloquent, revealing…the memory of this exceptional heroine is likely to linger a long time.”
