[Confessions of a Toe-Hanger is a companion book to You Have to Draw the Line Somewhere and] tells of the struggle of Linsey's younger sister Feeny to find herself. It is too episodic for children looking for a story and although older girls would enjoy the romance it is doubtful if they would be interested in the early chapters of the young Feeny or her later struggles as a young wife and mother.

Although the book is told in the first person it left one with the feeling that the insights into the central character were those of a loving and understanding mother rather than Feeny's own. Mrs. Harris is not only loving and understanding but a good writer, and I would look forward to more books such as Raven's Cry rather than another about her family. (p. 14)
