Field Mouse: The Fooder
By
A. E. Lawrence
Charles Willoughby’s youth was an ordeal of beatings
by his God-fearing father and seductions by his grossly obese mother. A warped and cruel man, he marries a woman who
is willing to submit to his jaded sexual demands. However, when she bears a child not of his
loin, he holds her and the child captive on his isolated farm and severs all
ties with the nearby town. Then when his
wife is killed, he is left with the girl.
Although his religious beliefs preclude him from killing her, he doesn’t
feel obligated to treat her humanely.
The girl, Taffeta Moonrose, is treated like a
dog under Charles’ care. But one day,
she finds herself free when Charles has a heart attack. Now, weak with hunger and on her own, she ventures
forth into an unknown, hostile world in a desperate search for food. After stealing from the towns people all
summer, she becomes known as the wild girl of Ashville.
When Matt and Toby Claybourne arrive at a
nearby cabin on vacation, they learn of the “wild girl” and become determined
to find and adopt her. When they finally
do find her, their relationship with her becomes one that will change each of their
lives in ways unforeseen.
This is a story that will grab your attention
right from the prologue and won’t let you go until you’ve finished the very last
page. It will take you on a rocket ride
of emotions that will allow you to hate, entice you to love, tease you with
hope, and leave you crying with a smile on your lips.
What Charles Willoughby does to his wife and
her bastard child begins you on a journey filled with fear and humor, suffering
and joy, sorrow and redemption.
