The sixth installment in At Bay Press’s acclaimed From the Heart Series.
For the fifth time in less than two years, eleven year old Kate and her parents have moved, this time to a farm in the rolling hills of Northumberland County, Ontario. Her Dad says they will make a fortune raising broilers for the 1950’s fried chicken craze. The back shed of the farm house becomes the killing room.
A coming of age story and the things we do, all of them, to please our parents.
“The fly buzzing ‘your fault’ was a brilliant move—it stays with the reader and describes the closed, hurtful world of the little girl with depth and precision.”
– Sheila Dalton, author of The Girl in the Box
“A small book with a big message: Only courage can overcome cruelty, only dreams can surmount the trauma life forces upon us, and only hope can shelter the person we choose to be from the one that others would force us to be.”
– Devour Magazine
