Description

"Me? Wo-o-o-o-!" ... "Oh-o-o-o- no! Not me!" Sabina screamed. She stretched her hand to receive the knife. "Mama-a-a-a!" ... She collapsed in shock! She wailed and wriggled in pain on the tall grass. A sudden yell broke from the crowd. It was her mother. ..... "Oh, my daughter! Why you! Why! Why!" she hissed with enraged bitterness. ... "You are too young to take a journey to the land of the ogres!" Shortly, the men, who stood watching curiously, pushed the old woman aside and led Sabina from the compassionate crowd. A rain-girl had been identified. That was final. She would travel to the land of the ogres in the hours of darkness, cut the tail of one of the monsters and bring it home. The tail would be used in a ritual to appease the rain-god, who in turn would bring a downpour to stop the drought that had threatened the lives of people, animals, and plants. The journey had to happen immediately, urgently. Will Sabina succeed! Sabina the Rain Girl is a fast-paced story with meanders through encounters of mysteries, misses, and near-misses. It is a chronicle of Sabina's journey of courage and determination to save a community facing imminent danger of hunger, malnutrition, and death!
