Representaion Toward Books The Secret Miss Rabbit Kept

According to sixteen-year-old Sophie, her new job at Sterlingwood Nursing Home makes perfect sense. Where else could a girl abandoned as a newborn better fit in than with all the other “toss-aways”? But she soon discovers the work is hard, the residents are crazy, and lessons in dying aren’t what she had in mind. Now she wants to quit.

An introduction to Miss Mable Rabbit, an elderly woman who refuses to speak, and a co-worker’s cryptic warning to just let the poor woman be, provide Sophie with reason to stay. She’s convinced she’ll be the one to break through the woman’s silence.

Winning Miss Rabbit’s trust doesn’t come easy. Overprotective parents, a drill sergeant of a Head Nurse, and a chain-smoking geriatric busybody offer little in the way of help. Sophie’s entire strategy hinges on advice from an unnerving observer – one pesky know-it-all woman, come back from the dead to assist. Her unexpected gift propels Sophie on a journey through a past no one is willing to claim and a reality no one should ever know. As Sophie learns that love often hides behind difficult choices, she tries to help Miss Rabbit find her voice, and in doing so, discovers her own.

Showcasing the heart of one generation and the soul of another, THE SECRET MISS RABBIT KEPT is ripe with poignancy and humor. A story of unexpected friendships and second chances, this coming-of-age tale proves that growing up and growing old aren’t so different after all.

Criticize Epithetical Books The Secret Miss Rabbit Kept

This book gripped me from the start and held me under its spell until I'd read the last word. Really charming, touching and funny. Even tragic events turn into uplifting experiences. Although I'd never have wanted to trade places with Sophie, I enjoyed every moment I was allowed to accompany her.



Brilliant. Absolutely. Yes, I cried. Again. I read this as a work-in-progress (the author is part of my writers' group), so you'd think reading it as a finished product would feel more like revisiting familiar landscapes. True, I love Sterlingwood and its residents, I love the protagonist and her two main supporting characters--Emma Jean, especially, is one literary persona I don't think I'll ever get enough of. I love the impossible redemption of this story, and I love how the author produces

The Secret Miss Rabbit Kept by Robin CainI am sorry this book was on the bottom of my "To Read" pile because when I reached it, I really enjoyed the book. By the title alone, I was prepared for a mystery. I guess it was, but it was so much more. It was about a teen aged adopted girl who grew up one summer with the help of the wonderful characters of Emma Jean and Miss Mable Rabbit at a retirement home.

Robin began her writing career as a child. Penning plays for neighborhood friends performances, she was paid in popsicles. Though Robins love of plays and popsicles continued to adulthood, she concentrated on writing human-interest articles and book reviews for an online publication until a newspaper headline about a womans body -- found in a local lake and long unidentified -- supplied the idea

(full disclosure: the author is my aunt)A beautiful read.

She takes on a summer job at the nursing home, where she befriends Emma Jean, a middle aged black woman. She quickly begins a
