Recent release "Sunshine through the Rain" from Page Publishing author C.A. Collins is a mesmerizing narrative from the perspective of a precocious white girl witnessing the upheaval of the Civil Rights era in the segregated South while navigating the often-painful dramas of everyday life.
NEW YORK, April 5, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- C.A. Collins, a full-time writer born and raised in the Deep South and currently living in the upper Midwest with her husband, Mike, and their Coonhound, Lincoln, has completed her book "Sunshine through the Rain": a riveting debut novel introducing Christie Ann Cook, a young and privileged Southern girl coming of age during one of the most consequential eras in modern American history.
"Sunshine through the Rain" follows Christie Ann Cook, a cynical, wise-beyond-her-years, truth-telling young girl who is coming of age in the Deep South during the civil rights movement, women's rights, and Roe v. Wade. Christie narrates her story mixing equal measures of drama and humor. She is trying to determine who she is in a home where her mother's main goal is to turn her into a Southern belle while her father tries to turn her into the boy he always wanted. Guided by Ernestine, the family's housekeeper/nanny/saint, Christie develops her own ideas of right and wrong, and they aren't always popular in the racially charged South. Christie takes us through the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, the violent death of Ernestine's young cousin, and the rape of her college roommate. She desperately tries to make sense of a world that's gone crazy, realizing in the end each one of us decides our own fate and the right thing and the difficult thing are most often the same thing.
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, C.A. Collins's book is a compelling work of realistic fiction following the formative years of a young woman navigating a confusing and turbulent world.
Readers who wish to experience this engrossing work can purchase "Sunshine through the Rain" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
