I wanted to drag her off to counseling for the appalling way she broke the news she was getting married again to her children (see chapter 2).Ĭarl McGill left not long before Erica started first grade, and she eats too much when there's tension in the family. Tim is such a nice man I don't know what he sees in Connie. I never had a stepparent, but I don't think my late mother was a good one to my older half-siblings. Three months ago, their mother married a bear of a man, a talented and successful potter with teeth the size of sugar cubes (Lizzie thinks of him as 'Toothy Tim'). The McGill children suffer from having two self-centered parents, who are also both lawyers. Not this year - instead of being put on a bus with her older brother, Evan, and her younger sister, Erica, their stepfather is driving the family to Gran's. The old cabin on the shores of Rain Lake has been her haven. Our 15 1/2-year-old Canadian heroine, Elizabeth 'Lizzie' McGill, has always looked forward to spending summers with her beloved Gran, her mother's mother.
The Haunting of Frances Rain is a story about troubled families.
