HELLO. WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE! As you page through, you'll get to know me and my main character, Rinnie Gardener. Rinnie is a young girl trying her best to understand and live life with her emotionally disturbed mother and her emotionally distant, father. She is three years old when we first meet. While watching television, Rinnie happens to see a dog named Rin Tin Tin just as he performs a heroic act. When the dog's master praises Rin Tin Tin as the smartest, strongest, and fastest dog in the world. Rinnie imagines the best thing in the world would be to become that beloved dog, With Rin Tin Tin's bravery, her own bold curiosity, and discipline, Rinnie shapes her thoughts, questions, and experiences into a life boat with Rinnie-made-rules for a compass. Rinnie believes strict adherence to these rules will guide her to safety. When her life boat begins to flounder, Rinnie finds that no matter how fast she bails, she will drown if she stays on course. *********************************** If you've ever ridden your bike as if it was a flying carpet that could take you anywhere, or wanted to be a princess or super hero when you grew up, if you've ever felt alone in a place packed with people, or watched something or someone you love leave, if you've ever met your goals through dogged determination, or ever gotten into trouble for telling the truth or done something that you knew you'd regret later then you might find Rinnie a good companion.
