Barnes, a poet, cosmetologist.
Sunday School teacher and mother

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

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

Barnes communicates that re

She hopes her youthful readers will
get the message.
