P rodigal Daughter at an afternoon meeting held recently at the home o f Gus tavia Bonner. Barnes, a poet, cosmetologist. Sunday School teacher and mother o f two, hails from Texas. Her in sight into human nature fanned the flame of her talent for writing about young people, their problems, their confusions and mistakes. " T h e church," says Barnes, "is not neces sarily for the redeemed, and neither is my book. Prodigal Daughter was written prim arily for unredeemed brothers and sisters.” "One can overcome some of the most incredible circumstances with proper insight,” the vivacious, pret ty young woman said. In her book Barnes sets the scene for some true- to-life experiences headlined every day in the daily newspaper. C har acterizations are drawn well and conversations seem natural. The book carries a message— a f St. Philip Episcopal Church celebrated Fr. Leon ter the lured episodes— put into the Stone Day: Deacon Alcena Boozer: Archdeacon words of Willie Stovall, the convert Lincoln P. Eng: Rt. Rev.

"E veryb od y should be a Light for somebody," says Barnes. She hopes her youthful readers will get the message. In Portland, Prodigal Daughter is available at B.
