Summary of Emma Copley Eisenberg's The Third Rainbow Girl

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The murders of Vicki and Nancy were called the Rainbow Murders. They were killed in Pocahontas County, a sparsely populated area that consists largely of protected national forest and sits along West Virginia’s eastern border with Virginia. No one was prosecuted for the murders for 13 years.

#2 The idea of Appalachia is well understood, but the actual place is less so. It is a borderland, not truly part of the South or the North, and West Virginia is the only state entirely within its bounds. Because of its enormous natural resources and their subsequent extraction, which has largely benefited corporations based elsewhere, the relationship between the people of West Virginia and the broader United States is often compared to that between a colonized people and their colonizers.

#3 The most recent FBI data shows that 74 percent of women who are murdered are murdered by men. In 84 percent of cases, the act of murder was not related to the commission of any other felony.
