Rainbow House

Miesville, Minnesota, (population 126), 1964. Enter two kids from St. Cloud, coerced by their feuding parents, to spend the summer with quirky Aunt Maggie, proud owner of the multi-colored Rainbow House, a pig named Peggy Sue, a goat namedBuddy Holly, and a feminist chicken named Mrs. Minniver. Together they scavenge for treasures, sell an abundance of flowers and vegetables, and host an Artsy Fartsy sale. Instead of the bummer summer the girls were expecting, the two sisters find adventure, excitement, love and acceptance with Maggie and her lovable menagerie of farm animals.The magical summer celebrated in The Rainbow House is like reading a smile. It is a still point in the turning world, a time of discovery and healing for its memorable characters in an idyllic setting, conjuring up the soul's home. - Lee Johnson, author of Poetica Nova
