Marilyn Linn's memoir is a courageous piece of writing that tells of her early life, lengthy hospital stays for osteomyelitis, and difficult family life. Few authors manage this theme and style with effective connectedness and flow but Marilyn has achieved it fearlessly. One gets the feeling that she is comfortable in the role of narrating nonfiction, and I hope her next project will benefit from the confidence and freedom she's gained in writing 'Rainbow after the Storm'. It's an optimistic account of a difficult beginning that brought Marilyn to a place of deep gratitude and celebration of the good things in her life. Linda R Brooks
