Plot summary

Jennifer Baylor is a poor young redheaded woman from West Virginia attending a snooty private girl's school on a scholarship. She and her father had left their home in disgrace, when around the age of seven some snakes Jennifer had been handling in church apparently bit and killed the preacher's son. She refused to handle snakes ever since, though her father now runs a pet store and often encourages her to use her power again. Her father Luke Baylor is a simpleton, unable to make meals for himself without burning them, relying of Jennifer ever since his wife died. While he does operate the pet store, most of the time he is in a back room listening to Christian radio. Jennifer gets into trouble with a cruel clique at school. They already hated her for being different, but when she snitches on them for cheating on a mid-term exam (only after they accused her of being the ringleader when they were caught) they are literally prepared to kill her.

The main culprit is Sandra Treymayne, the daughter of a U.S. Senator. The school's headmistress is quite eager to kick Jennifer out as well, preferring students with rich and powerful parents. The swimming team invites Jennifer to join them. One of Sandra's crew Jane Delano, an overweight girl who puts up being used by her friends, also sticks up for Jennifer occasionally, to her own detriment. Additionally, one of the teachers wants to be Jennifer's friend. Eventually, Jennifer is pushed to the point where her only remaining recourse is revenge, using the only method she knows: her psychic control over snakes!
